Hi guys! Once again I'm here asking for help... kkk

Well, first of all, thanks a lot for all the help you provide me in Qgis installation. It is working fine here now, and it would not be possible without your valuable help. You are amazing!

So now I'm having problems running Rstudio. In my job I run a system that involves MikTex, R, Rstudio and spreadsheets. Well, I managed to install all of those successfully, with no errors or warnings. However, when I try to run Rstudio, it aborts, never opens.

When I run it in terminal, it gives me the following error:

bash-5.1# rstudio
rstudio: error while loading shared libraries: libgstreamer-0.10.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Well, I imagine that this lib is included in the gstreamer, with I have it installed (gstreamer-1.18.5-x86_64-1). It is possible that if I upgrade the gstreamer to version 1.19.90, this may be corrected... Then I did it. Now I have a libgstreamer-1.0.so.0 in my /usr/local/lib64 dir. And, still, R-studio doesn't worh, with the same error.

I use Slackware64-current. Any idea on how to solve this?

Thanks in advance!

Latest gstreamer for -current (1.18.5) definitely contains libgstreamer-0.10.so.0.1805.0 and when installed the symlinks libgstreamer-0.10.so and libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 are created (all in the /usr/lib64 dir).

Might be that your Rstudio is looking for the file in a different directory. Did you build Rstudio yourself, (e.g. with ponce's buildscript for -current) - if so, I would expect it to look for libgstreamer in the proper place - or did you find a package somewhere?

I've built it from ponce slackbuild. No errors or warnings.

I think you forgot to check the dependencies because actually rstudio depends on gst0-plugins-base (the base plugins of the previous gstreamer version, 0.10.x, that in turn depend on gstreamer0)

https://git.slackbuilds.org/slackbui...it/?id=63a970c

Indeed... i could not find gst0-plugins-base anywere to download... I found another one, without the 0 (gst-plugins-base). I guess it's not the same thing...

Can you point me some repository?

gst-plugins-base is already in Slackware, you don't need to install a different version of that.

gst0-plugins-base is in the unofficial repository for current that you said in you previous post you are already using...
https://github.com/Ponce/slackbuilds...0-plugins-base

Oh... I seeked everywhere but not there... Kkk i'll try it. Thank you.

Well, installing the gst0-plugins-base solved the libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 problem, but rstudio still doesn't work, an now it gives the following error:

bash-5.1# rstudio
Segmentation fault

I saw elsewhere that it could be a problem with video driver, and a possible solution would be

export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965

However, it didn't worked either...

When I run strace rstudio, the log shows the following error:


--- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=0x1c} ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
Segmentation fault


Any hint?

never saw that (I'm not an rstudio user), but you can try contacting the maintainer on SBo.

I understand. I'll try it. Thanks again!

"Segmentation Fault" historically is a memory page fault, and dates back to hardware design inadequacies in Intel's 80286 series of 16 bit cpus. In practise, it's ANY memory fault, most often caused by junk software.

Delete & reinstalling offending software is an obvious step. Try to grab them all from your own distro if possible.

EDIT: It could be Mesa, but I doubt it.

I was curious and installed rstudio-desktop from the repo locally: FWIW it launched fine here (no segfault) so I'm not able to reproduce.

rebuild

All this , is strange , he cant build rtudio linked to gst0 , when he no have it on system , probably he gets the package "build" by someone from some server.

I call ghostbusters.

I did it already (rebuild, not calling ghostbusters... Kkkk), but it didn't worked...

Hello All

Not sure if this is going to help at all.

I usually install RStudio Desktop from the *rpm* binary on the rstudio Web site. My notes from last time I tried this on --current 64 bit (3rd Dec 21, now trashed) go something like this...

Out of interest, I tried the unofficial slackbuild mentioned in this thread. I used the slackbuilds listed below. (I should mention that I'm on my 32 Bit X60 laptop with its simple intel graphics)...

https://github.com/Ponce/slackbuilds...dia/gstreamer0

https://github.com/Ponce/slackbuilds...0-plugins-base

https://github.com/Ponce/slackbuilds...studio-desktop

I notice that the slackbuild is repackaging the *Debian* .deb binaries from a *much older* version of RDesktop. These slackbuilds work fine for me, and I can load RStudio and run the demos *but* I get error messages using R 4.0.0. with this older RStudio version. This is a known issue apparently

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...mented-type-29

Removing R-4.0.0 and compiling R-3.6.3 (simple edit to the version number in the SlackBuild) results in an error free combination of RStudio 1.1.4... and R.
