Problem launching bcompare Ubuntu 18.10

[drohm]

I installed the latest version of BeyondCompare 4.2.8-23479 (downloaded the deb file from web site) on Ubuntu Budgie 18.10 and when I try to launch bcompare at the command line I get the following:

Previous to this latest version 4.2.8, I had 4.2.6 working fine on same version of operating system. After getting this error, I removed 4.2.8 and tried installing 4.2.6 and now it's giving the same error. Can anyone point me to which libraries I need to install and how I can get past this?

We haven't tested Beyond Compare on Ubuntu Budgie 18.10.

On Ubuntu 18.10 (Gnome), the following command will install required dependencies:

sudo apt install libaudio2 libmng2 libmysqlclient20 libqt4-dbus libqt4-declarative libqt4-network libqt4-opengl libqt4-script libqt4-sql libqt4-sql-mysql libqt4-xml libqt4-xmlpatterns libqtcore4 libqtdbus4 libqtgui4 libqtwebkit4 mysql-common qdbus qt-at-spi qtchooser qtcore4-l10n

Hello,

I just ran through setting up Ubuntu 18.10, installing BC 4.2.6, rebooting, and then installing the 4.2.8 deb from our website. All of this was tested in a 64bit environment with 64bit debs. I didn't hit the same dependency errors in my testing, but if from a Terminal you run a combination of sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade were there any queued up changes/updates for your system that weren't applied? Just to be sure I'm completely up to date, I'll sometimes run those commands alternating, a couple of times each, just to make sure I have all updates applied.

Thanks for the help guys. I figured out what the issue was. Before I installed using the deb file, I originally was using the tar.gz manual installation method (I was using Solus prior to moving back to Ubuntu) and had moved the bcompare.sh script into my ~/bin folder. It was using that script to launch BeyondCompare and was getting confused. I removed all remnants of the local tar.gz install and installed 4.2.8 fresh and it worked perfectly. Again, thanks for all the help.
