Ubuntu & OMEdit

Dec-26-10 13:47:13

Hi all,

I wanna get started with OMEdit under Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I've added URI: http://build.openmodelica.org/apt, Distribution: release, Components: contrib in Software Sources within Synaptic Package Manager - I've installed it via Synaptic.
It's installed under Applications->Science->OMEdit but unfortunately it NEVER starts and runs.
Am I missing something?
Do you have positive experience? Any suggestion how to resolve it...

BR,
Peter

If you start it from command-line, you should see that you installed the Debian packages. Debian does not have Qt 4.7, so the application is just a placeholder. Use nightly-ubuntu for OMEdit.

Ah. I should have looked a bit closer. The LTS is too old for OMEdit (run it from command-line and it should say some symbols are missing; it's due to a too old Qt version).

and response is

Yes, that's the message you get if you install the Debian packages. If you install the Ubuntu packages, OMEdit should just refuse to start due to an old Qt version.
