libcurl3 vs libcurl4

[harsszegi]

Hello,
I'm unable to use diffmerge on latest ubuntu (18.04) as that uses libcurl4 generally, and diffmerge uses libcurl3
which is a bummer.
Any idea how to sort it out?
Thanks,

[I made it work via modifying the binary to look for
libcurl.so.3 instead of libcurl.so.4 just that it seems
to be a bit of a hack]

Glad you were able to sort this out.

Did you use the /lib/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path" "PATH_OF_OLDER_LIBRARIES" "DIFFMERGE_BINARY" command line ?

I have a build of DiffMerge 4.2.1 that is a beta for Ubuntu 18.04 (64-bit).

If you would like to try it out, and report back your findings, the Ubuntu package can be found at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sj_6QH ... sp=sharing

Thanks. This package worked for me on 18.04 LTS.

On startup the following message comes up on the console:

Code: Select all

Gtk-Message: 15:51:48.061: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"

On the interwebs it says to install libcanberra-gtk3-module, but it's already there.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk3-module

You could try "libcanberra-gtk-module" instead of "libcanberra-gtk3-module" to see if that resolves the message.

That got rid of the message. Thanks!

I'm glad to see the message has gone. Thx for the report back.
