Problem running BC3 on SLES11

[David]

Addendum. Which the reason for asking about machine arch is that BC is a 32 bit app not 64. Though it will run just fine on a 64bit machine as long as the 32bit libraries are there. Would you also be willing to repeat the ldd experiment but with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/beyondcompare set. I want to see the paths of the libraries that are being loaded. So

>> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/beyondcompare
>> ldd /usr/lib/beyondcompare/BCompare
>> ldd /usr/lib/beyondcompare/libqtc.so.1
>> ldd /usr/lib/beyoncompare/libqt-mt.so.3

Thanks

There is spelling mistake in your last command. The 'beyondcompare' directory is spelled incorrectly - missing the letter 'd'.

try the following:

ldd /usr/lib/beyondcompare/libqt-mt.so.3

Hi,

Everything works fine but all of sudden I could not bring up BC3 which installed on a RedHat machine. I'm getting "Runtime error 230 at 08172BA8". According to the other postings, this might indicate that missing shared libraries issue. However I checked by running ldd and everything looks fine (actually bin/bcompare script is checking for missing shared libraries). So what might be the problems?

Thanks,

Shu-Hua

This can also be a problem if BCompare (when running) does not have permissions to write to the settings directory and files. For example for user dboyd the settings directory default would be /home/dboyd/.beyondcompare. If BCompare cannot write to the files in /home/dboyd/.beyondcompare then a Runtime 230 can occur. We have seen this occassionally happen when the /home directories are NFS mounted and permissions aren't quite right. Or sometimes when the BCompare installation is done using the tar.gz as root and the settings directory is put in /root/.beyondcompare.

So check and see who BCompare is running as and make sure that it has permissions to write to the settings directory.
