Kompozer Kubuntu / Ubuntu 64bits relase 12.10 not working

Asked by Georges Portailler

Hello,

I have been using Kompozer to create simple web site, i initially installed it on Kubuntu / Ubuntu 64 bits release 11.10

It has been working fine up to release 12.04.

Yesterday I've done the upgrade to Kubuntu / Ubuntu 64bits relase 12.10 and I am unable to have Kompozer working.

Running the launch shell from a terminal gives me the following error message:

"
exec ./run-mozilla.sh ./kompozer-bin
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/menuproxies/libappmenu.so: mauvaise classe ELF : ELFCLASS64

(kompozer-bin:4523): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load type module: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/menuproxies/libappmenu.so
"

Any idea for help ?

Thanks

You are running a 32bit binary on a 64bit OS. You'll need a 64bit binary.

Based on the hint on architecture incompatibility I have been able, eventually, to solve my issue although not in the more rational way.

1/ Installed a 64bits DEB package at http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amd64/kompozer/download

2/ as this was not sufficient I had to install back as well the tar I386 generic linux distribution file at http://sourceforge.net/projects/kompozer/files/latest/download

I guess it just added the missing libraries or the 64bits part took the bat.

Thanks for your help,
Georges
