Error executing bacongui-gtk (SOLVED)

[rodolfo]

Hello. I'm testing BaCon in Ubuntu 22.04. The bacon executable file works fine, but bacongui-gtk throws this error message:

ERROR: signal for SEGMENTATION FAULT received - memory invalid or array out of bounds? Try to compile the program with TRAP LOCAL to find the cause.

I've tried both the binary package and compliling the sources.

Thanks in advance.

Hi rodolfo,

I have downloaded Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and installed BaCon from scratch, it all works out of the box, though I had to enable the "universe" repo manually to install 'libgtksourceview-3.0'.

Please see attached screenshot.

So: how exactly did you install BaCon on your machine? Please explain your steps in detail and add logfiles if you have them.

Thanks,
Peter

Hello, Peter. Thanks for your interest.

I missed the last step "sudo make install" and tried the executable files in build directory. After your answer I ran "sudo make install" and now everything is fine. I have these messages in the terminal (I guess they are normal):

GtkSourceView library for 'gtk2' not found! Trying GTK3...
Webkit library for 'gtk3' not found! Trying 'webkit2gtk'...

I had installed libgtksourceview-3.0-1 previously.

Thank again,

Rodolfo.

Hi rodolfo,

Indeed, those messages are normal.

Please note that BaCon 4.6 is about to be released. You can already download the latest stable source from here in case you're interested: basic-converter.org/stable/bacon-4.6.tar.gz

Best regards
Peter

Hello, I've downloaded the new version. Should i uninstall the previous version before installing the new?

Thanks,

Rodolfo.

Hi rodolfo,

In Linux, it generally is a good idea to remove a previous version before installing a new one. You can do so by executing 'make uninstall' in the 4.5 source tree.

Having said that, the new BaCon package contains the exact same installation files, except that these are newer versions. So I would expect that installing 4.6 over the previous version should work also.
