gEdit’s Symbol Browser Caveat

I recently installed 64-bit Karmic Koala on my Asus and was in the process of reinstalling gEdit’s Symbol Browser. Without this plugin, it takes simply too long to find snippets of code quickly.

After following the instructions to a tee, I found that I could not enable the plugin. It turns out that there are TWO important packages you need to install via aptitude/Synaptic/apt-get/etc…

sudo aptitude install exuberant-ctags libgnomeprintui2.2-0

The requirement of ctags is well documented on the plugin’s website, but I found no mention of the libgnomeprintui2.2-0 requirement.

Anyway, hope this helps!

    Hi I installed this and still can’t get any functions to show up in the symbol browser…

    I can at least enabled it now but not use it.

    Is this a problem with 64-bit? I’m on Ubuntu 10.02.

    Thanks.

    I’ve stopped using this plugin. You’ve raised a good point. I’ll write an article about my general working setup in a couple of hours. Thanks!
