Stata v12 with Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot

I installed Stata v12 with Ubuntu 11.10 the same way as with Ubuntu 11.04, see this link.

In brief, two libraries are missing, libgtksourceview and libgnomeprint. Link to libgtksourceview and install libgnomeprint (before or after installing Stata) by opening a terminal window and running:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgtksourceview-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libgtksourceview-1.0.so.0
sudo apt-get install libgnomeprint2.2-0

      I am running Ubuntu 32-bit, but my installation was straightforward. However, if you haven’t got libgtksourceview-2.0.so.0 in your system you need to install it first.

      sudo apt-get install libgtksourceview2.0-0

    I am running Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit and having the following error, while calling Stata 12 GUI version (xstata):

    Gtk-ERROR **: GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported

    Any suggestions on how to fix it?
    The console version runs fine.

      Hi Harold,

      I think the problem is caused by not having installed the right libgtksourceview. If I remember it correctly I installed libgtksourceview2.0-0 and created a symbolic link to libgtksourceview-1.0.so.0.

      However, libgtksourceview2.0-0 may not be in the Ubuntu 11.10 repositories. You would then have to find it somewhere else. See the conversation at the lower part of http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-457819.html.
