K3Util and P3Util Error: Help System encountered a problem. [Linux Ubuntu 10.04]
Locked
 
|
When I click the menu item Help in the K3Util and P3Util, I see a popup that says "The help System encountered a problem. The GtkHTML library required by the HTML Help Viewer is not installed".
If I start the K3Util in a terminal (using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS), then I see > ./p3util > Could not load libGtkHTML > /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 > Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so So I assume I'm missing the 64 bit package that provides libgvfsdbus.so. Does anyone know what that package is?

Larry,
I believe you need to install libGtkHTML. If you are on 64-bit, make sure the 32-bit compatibility libraries are installed. The 32-bit version of libGtkHTML should be included in the compatibility libraries. sudo apt-get install ia32-libs David, W4SMT --- On Tue, 1/10/12, Larry J on Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop <[hidden email]> wrote: > When I click the menu item Help in > the K3Util and P3Util, I see a popup that says "The > help System encountered a problem.

Larry,
First, compile/install the GtkHTML library... that would be libGtkHTML or some package named something VERY similar. It ALSO appears that libgvfsdbus is installed but you have the 32 bit version and you need the 64 bit version. If there are two versions of the library, 32 bit and 64 bit, install/compile the 64 bit library. It looks like a dependency link may be missing or incorrect, either for the binary file or compilation process. I am hoping you know how to compile/install software libraries in Ubuntu, if not, maybe you should not be using Ubuntu, OR go to an Ubuntu help site and figure out how to compile/install software in that Linux OS. FWIW, all Linux distros are not the same when it comes to installing software. Good luck.

That library is needed only to see the help pages of k3util, so no functionality is lost. Now, it's 2012, can we *pleeeeease* have a native 64 bit version of the utility? And also a standalone html or pdf copy of the help file, pointing the browser to the Help directory gives a lot of broken links.

I agree 100 percent with Pierfrancesco!!! (See excerpt below) If I had a native 64 bit binary for the Elecraft P3/ K3 Utility, I wouldn't have to come begging here. After all, I just spent more than $4000 on this hardware. Better yet, Elecraft: Open the source your dam Utilities and I'll compile my own.
Elecraft: I'm willing to go NDA so that you could provide source for the P3/K3 utilities to me, I'll compile, maintain, and package 64 bit versions and put it in a PPA for all to access freely. No charge to you. Let me know. Larry W0AY On 01/10/2012 11:37 PM, Pierfrancesco Caci wrote: > Now, it's 2012, can we*pleeeeease* have a native 64 bit version of the > utility?

The Linux versions of the Utilities share the same source code with the Mac versions. They are developed and maintained on the Mac using Real Studio. Real Studio provides cross-compilation for Mac and Linux (and Windows). Real Studio does not yet support 64-bit Linux. So until it does, I have no way of providing 64-bit. If someone would like to take on the task of porting all of the Utilities to native Linux, I'm sure it could be arranged. But it would be a *massive* project. The Elecraft Utilities are not trivial apps. They have been in development for years. I'm not sure that investing the time and effort necessary would be worth it - just to get a 64-bit binary. The 32-bit versions works just fine on 64-bit as long as the 32-bit compatibility libraries are installed.

David,
Bummer. That wasn't the answer I was hoping for. I agree conversion from the proprietary development environment would be, at the very least, difficult and, worse yet, probably not something I am capable of doing. Thanks for your reply and explanation. For benefit of others who may pass this way, I did discover that I can create something similar to a help file by opening my Chrome browser on the file K3Util.htm located in the folder Help-K3. So, for example, in my browser address space (where the http:// address usually goes) I inserted "file:///home/lj/Desktop/K3/Help-K3/K3Util.htm" This mostly works but is missing a diagram or two which you have to fish out yourself. This would probably work on the P3Util package also. Not a well integrated solution but a work around while we wait for Real Studio to support 64bits.
