Bluefish Not Working

downhill

Attempted to start bluefish today and it wouldn't run. I then attempted running it from the command line and I get the following error:
bluefish: error while loading shared libraries: libenchant.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Justin

downhill I believe yursan9 is correct, enchant provides /usr/lib64/libenchant-2.so.2 which is a newer version.

Justin

On further investigation enchant16 is what you need, the runtime dependency of it needs to be changed. downhill please try install this and test.

I think @JoshStrobl forget to rebuild bluefish.
Or maybe you need to install enchant from software center

yursan9 & Justin Thank you for the replies. I'll attempt to install the updated/different library the next time I'm using Solus, which will be tomorrow. I'll be on my laptop today (no Solus currently, but hopefully soon) and I'm currently under my Debian Unstable install on my desktop.

I attempted to search for libenchant, libenchant.so.1, and libenchant.so using eopkg, but got nothing. Perhaps it's named differently in the repo. I'll use the SCC to search tomorrow.

downhill Like justin said, you just need to run sudo eopkg it enchant16

yursan9 Thank you for the clarification.

Fixed in unstable. If I do a sync today, it'll be one of the updates: https://dev.getsol.us/R439:6831abd1dc239828b35237da3b70b1d9bed83c06

Upgraded today...issue resolved.

Adding my experience today this thread....
Bluefish is my favourite HTML editor, and today was the first time I used it on my new system running Solus Budgie Fortitude. Program version is 2.2.10 Release 7.
Noticed that I could not block select text at all, not even CTRL-A for all the text. This made the HTML work quite difficult as I could not even copy and paste. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
In the time being, I made due with Atom and Geany to get the work done.
Then I did the "turn it off and on again" and found Bluefish to be working just fine again, with select doing what it should do.

MintSpider I've always wondered what causes these kind of things (it seems it shouldn't work that way).
