How to run Rebol on Freya

188 Views Asked by At

Been trying to run rebol-view-278-4-2 on Elementary OS "Freya" (a variant of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS).

I keep getting this error:

error while loading shared libraries: libXaw.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I went ahead and tried to install the missing library but to no avail.

These are the steps I took to get R2 core and view working on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty," so I would imagine that this would also work on Freya:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libx11-6:i386
sudo apt-get install libxext6:i386
sudo apt-get install libxaw7:i386
sudo apt-get install libfreetype6:i386
sudo apt-get install xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi 

(I prefer to keep the package install steps separate in case one of them fails.)
