Hi Keith,

The new version 4.4.63 solved my problem :xd:

Thanks a lot.

It's now working both for Kubuntu 14.04 and Kununtu 15.10.

Best regards,

Ewald

[Ewald]

Thanks for your swift reply.

I already have set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${GLADE_HOME}/lib by this start bash script:

#!/bin/bash
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=""
pushd ${HOME}/CAD/glade/_work
export mach_type=`uname -m`
export GLADE_HOME="${HOME}/Kubuntu/tarballs/glade4_linux64_ub14"
export PATH=${GLADE_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=""
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${GLADE_HOME}/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PYTHONPATH=""
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:${GLADE_HOME}/bin
export GLADE_THREADED_EXTRACTION='ON'
glade $*
popd

Obviously, this doesn't fix the issue for Kubuntu 14.04.

Best regards,

Ewald

Hello,

For glade 4.4.62 I get for kubuntu 14.02 64bit (and kubuntu 15.10 64bit) this error message:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb".

Available platform plugins are: linuxfb, minimal, offscreen, xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Best regards,

Dear All,

Here a hint how to get glade 'Linux 64 bit build for Ubuntu (tested on Ubuntu 12.04) version 4.4.28' running on Kubuntu 14.04:

When installing the download package you will face to an error message:

Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x40806) with this library (version 0x40805)

You can overcome this by two additional settings:

1. Add to your startup script:

export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=""

2. Put into the glade installation directory a file

<your_installation_directory/bin/qt.conf

with the following contents:

[Paths]
Plugins = '.'

Then glade is starting up again correctly.

Attached my startup script as reference.

Best regards,

Ewald

[Ewald]

Here the screen dump.

[Ewald]

Hello Keith,

Great job! Many thanks.

Glade 4.3.28 in now working under (K)ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64Bit.
See attached screen dump.

Best regards,

Ewald

[Ewald]

Hello again,

For completeness:

'configure', 'make', then 'make altinstall' did not change the result.
Still same traceback of errors.

Best regards,

Ewald

[Ewald]

Hello,

Thanks for the swift reply.

Here my answers to your questions:

>Did you download the source and run 'configure', 'make', then 'make altinstall'?
=> Not exactly, I ran:

./configure –prefix=/usr/local/python2.7
make
make test
sudo make install

> What you you get if you type 'python -v'?

Hello,
I am also running Kubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bit and experienced same trouble as 'gsuarez' and followed your advise to install Phyton 2.7.3 from http://www.python.org as /usr/local/python2.7.
Still I get same error message when invoking glade 4.3.28 (ubuntu 10.4, 64Bit):
Traceback (most recent call last):

from _weakref import ref
ImportError: No module named _weakref

How can I help to debug this issue?
My suggestion is to compile glade for ubuntu 12.04 LTS. This version will be supported until 2017, while there is no update support for 10.04 anymore.
Best regards,
Ewald

As far as I understand, some distributions have multilib support.
Some backgroup on multilib is given at
http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/index.php/Python
There you can also find a patch for multilib support, e.g.
http://svn.cross-lfs.org/svn/repos/patches/Python/Python-2.7.1-multilib-1.patch

On my computers there is
openSUSE 11.3: multilib support
openSUSE 11.4: multilib support
Kubuntu 11.10: no multilib support

In case of multilib support, sys.lib returns 'lib64' (openSUSE 11.4):

Hello,

Glade 4.1.69 still issues on my openSUSE 11.2 the error message

import site' failed; use -v for traceback

Root cause is that Glade's Python module 'sys' is defining different attributes than openSUSE 11.2's Python:

The openSUSE Python is having the additional attributes 'arch' and 'lib',which Glade's Python (RH4) doesn't have.
Obviously, the sys module is differing for the Linux distributions, see also:
http://old.nabble.com/Looking-for-portable-what-to-determine-directory-where-extensions-are-installed–td26238412.html

Is there a way to add these missing attributes to Glade's Python?
This would allow to work with python inside Glade.
Best regards,
Ewald

Hello,

Thanks a lot. Glade 4.1.69 RHEL / 64 bit works perfect with openSUSE 11.3 / python 2.6 now.

Good job!

Hello Glade-Supporters,

Glade 4.1.68 (RHEL 64bit version) does not start on my openSUSE 11.3 linux OS (64bit).
(however some older versions of Glade did)

My start script looks as follows:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${GLADE_HOME}/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:${GLADE_HOME}/bin
export PYTHONHOME=/usr
#strace glade >& glade.strace
glade
popd

Error message is:
