texmaker package

Impossible to run texmaker

Asked by zosiah

Once i install texmaker from terminal with

sudo install texmaker

and i try to launch it, terminal says:

texmaker: error while loading shared libraries: libdouble-conversion.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've been googling around for a while but it's still not clear for me how to overcome this issue...

The file libdouble-conversion.so.1 (in directory /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/) is part of the package libdouble-conversion1

It is strange that the package is installed, but the file is shown as missing. Try re-installing that package

sudo apt install --reinstall libdouble-conversion1

Then try starting texmaker again and report the results.

It seems to me that some packages are broken on your system, with the files missing although the package is installed.

What is the output of

I do not know what there is happening on your system. Several files have disappeared, although they have been installed from their related packages. Did you tamper with system files and delete them?

You should consider a new installation, because nobody knows how many files more there might be missing.

For the texmaker problem, try reinstalling the package that delivers libxcb-xinerama.so.0 with the command

sudo apt install --reinstall libxcb-xinerama0

and then try starting texmaker again and report the results.

I'm considering your suggestion to reinstall entire system, because I'm having strange problems also with installing emacs and texstudio, and this things have never happened before. Aside of this considerations, your last suggestion DID IT, texmaker it's working now! Thanks a lot for suggestions and time you've dedicated to me! Best regards!
