OS 1.8.0/EP 8.3./Ubuntu: How to run IDFVersionUpdater ?

asked 2015-07-16 07:05:57 -0600

updated 2015-07-17 07:57:12 -0600

when I try to start the bundled IDFVersionUpdater in terminal window:

 /usr/local/share/openstudio-1.8.0/EnergyPlus-8-3-0/PreProcess/IDFVersionUpdater/IDFVersionUpdater myFile.idf

the program responds with the error message:

Failed to find/load Framework library
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is this a bug or is there a more appropriate way to invoke the program ?

If you are using 14.04, that package should already be installed. It is listed in the default packages installed for Trusty here. If you aren't using Ubuntu 14.04, then it's not a platform we support, although you may be able to just apt-get install libgtk2.0-0.

libgtk2.0-0 is already installed, as I checked with synaptic. Thus the problem is still unresolved.

Can you provide the output of:

$ ldd /usr/local/share/openstudio-1.8.0/EnergyPlus-8-3-0/PreProcess/IDFVersionUpdater/IDFVersionUpdater

(Where ldd is L D D)
