libgtk-1.2.so.0

[Exadrid]

I'm trying to install epsxe but im getting:

./epsxe: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

All i find online is for 64 bit but i am using 32bit karmic. I cant find the package anywhere.

Can someone help?

[fooman]

try opening a terminal and type or copy/paste the following:

 sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2

see if that installs the missing package. if not, then post any errors it produces.

hope that helps.

If you must then you'll have to get the jaunty packages - 3 in total I think
( in this order for install

http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/jaunty/libgtk1.2-common

http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/jaunty/libglib1.2ldbl

http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/jaunty/libgtk1.2

If you click on the links given, from the top down, you get to the page and look for the table: under Architecture, click on "all". You can then save the file.
For the next link, when you get to the page, look for the table under the heading "Download libglib1.2ldbl" and select (presumably) i386, and save the file.
For the third link, when you get to the page, look for the table under the heading "Download libgtk1.2" and click on i386, and save the file.
In the order downloaded, double-click on the saved files: this should start the Gdebi installer (make sure Synaptic isn't running).

My thanks to the contrbutors above - this has enabled me to install and run gsview - the best front-end for Ghostscript I've come across.
Best wishes to one and all,
Phil

I don't know if it's because I'm not used to the ubuntu packages site, or if those links are actually broken, but when I try to use those three links, I get a page with the following error:

two or more packages specified (libgtk1.2 jaunty)

If you're getting this error message, too, then here's another way you can get the packages.

The packages are in the jaunty universe repository. Here's how you can add that repository to your sources in Lucid:

1. Open System >> Administration >> Synaptic Package Manager
2. Go to Settings >> Repositories
3. On the Other Software tab, click Add.
4. Enter the following:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jaunty universe

5. Close Synaptic

(if you don't have synaptic (i.e. you don't have the desktop), you can modify /etc/apt/sources.list manually in a text editor. Just add the deb line to the bottom and save.)

Now it should be smooth sailing.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2

No more libgtk-1.2.so.0 errors for me!

I added the jaunty repository and installed libgtk1.2, but I still get the same error message about libgtk-1.2.so.0. libgtk1.2 did install correctly, so I'm not sure what else to do here? I use 64-bit 10.10

./epsxe: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

anyway after following these instructions above i was able to install libgtk1.2 now epsxe is working fine.
