same error here. Runnung Ubuntu Karmic Koala (9.10). Padre does not start , only gives "/usr/bin/perl: relocation error: /usr/lib/perl5/auto/Wx/Wx.so: symbol _ZN12wxSearchCtrl18SetDescriptiveTextERK8wxString, version WXU_2.8.2 not defined in file libwx_gtk2u_core-2.8.so.0 with link time reference"

deinstall and new install (including direct dependencies) did not help to fix the problem. still same error. also running karmic

[dingsi (born2lie)]

workaround:

edit ~/.padre/config.yml
change main_directory: 1
to main_directory: 0

and do not start the directory view

UBUNTU KARMIC: another workaround for those who want to have limited functionality with directory tree (searching will kill the app):

uncomment (#) line 26 in file /usr/share/perl5/Padre/Wx/Directory/SearchCtrl.pm

[Steffen Mueller (smueller-cpan)]

This is an issue with the libwx-perl package. I could reproduce the bug with:

perl -e'BEGIN { @INC = grep {not m(/usr/local)} @INC; }use Wx; Wx::SearchCtrl->new->SetDescriptiveText("foo");'

Where the BEGIN{...} is just necessary to shadow the modules I manually installed from CPAN, which would otherwise load my own copy of Wx.

On a virgin ubuntu, this would cause the same problem:

perl -MWx -e'Wx::SearchCtrl->new->SetDescriptiveText("foo");'

Here's the debdiff for simple rebuild. No surprises.

Yeah... not fixed for me.

Ubuntu Maverick x86_64

When i try to run Padre it receive SIGSEGV.

It seems rebuild of libwx-perl required

[Zeno Gantner (zeno-gantner)]

One possible workaround is to install wx-perl from CPAN:

sudo cpan Alien::wxWidgets
sudo cpan Wx

[Harald Jörg (harald-joerg)]

This is just to confirm that I had the same problem with Padre on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick, 32Bit), with a fresh installation of all components.
The workaround to directly install wx-perl from CPAN helps.

Ubuntu versions: Padre = 0.63.ds1-1
                            libwxgtk2.8-0 = 2.8.11.0-0ubuntu4
                            Alien::wxWidgets = 0.50
                            Wx = 0.9702-1

CPAN versions: Alien::wxWidgets = 0.51
                            Wx = 0.98

I have the same problem with Ubuntu 11.04 beta version (32bit)

The workaround with the cpan modul does not work for me.
