New Member felixH Posted April 4 New Member Share Posted April 4 Im on arch linux and followed the installation instructions for the latest version. I get this error now: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory i saw an old thread for 2025.17 that had the same issue. There was also some talk about a flatpak witch i would really appreciate to not have to deal with dependency issues.

Contributor SreckoM Posted April 6 Contributor Share Posted April 6 It is because, for some reason, 3dCoat uses Gnome 2 libraries. I think it is Open/Save file dialog that is Gtk2. Which is decades old.... You will probably have some more dependency issues after you resolve this one. If you can find this library file somewhere else, download it, and place is under LinuxLibs folder (it is folder you extracted from 3dcoat archive you downloaded here). And than add that folder to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I did built flatpak for 2015.17, and sent to 3dcoat team, but they really do not care much about Linux, so I would not hold my breathe here. 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/33893-linux-installation-issues/#findComment-204297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Member felixH Posted April 6 Author New Member Share Posted April 6 Flatpak would be my prefered choice if it was available. I also use blender and many other applications with flatpak for example. Do you have it on github or do you mind sending me the build script?
