PureBasic Forums - English

I did a search here but could not see anything, forgive me if this is a duplicate. I've never had this problem before and can not find on here what is need to fix it.

Every example I run ends up with gtk errors, see below:

Requester.a(MessageRequester.o): In function `PB_MessageRequester2':
MessageRequester.c:(.text+0x3e): undefined reference to `gtk_dialog_get_type'
MessageRequester.c:(.text+0x72): undefined reference to `gtk_message_dialog_new'

...

Have you installed all required developer packages?

I have installed Mint Linux 20 (Mate) for testing.
No error (except that you cannot use the webgadget)

mk-soft was faster with the reply

I have a recent fresh install of Mint 20 x64 Cinnamon as a testing system (MX is my main). PureBasic 5.72 all works fine - gtk2, gtk3 and qt subsystems.

Required packages installed exactly as in mk-soft's post linked above. I've used this 'Simple install' guide for several installs and with different distros. If any forum admins are reading this - IMHO I think it should be made a "sticky".

At the same, i use Mate 20, without problems.
He has not the needed packets installed !

In the 5.72 but there are some heavy bugs.

And so that the IDE does not crash, replace this one.

I just stuffed the 5.72 in the garbage can.
After several hours of troubleshooting and error localization is enough for me.

Simply no longer in the mood.

Cheers that fixed it. Strange I updated from 19.4 and it must have trashed those libs.

Thank You
