Hello anyone,

I have problem with bst. Last week I reinstalled my linux and since that I'm not able to run bst.

Everytime I tried to run it from terminal it said me:
bash: /opt/parallax/bin/bst: No such file or directory

I think, I will have to install some special libraries, but I really don't know which.
So, don't anyone of you know, how to fix it ?

Thanks for help.

What is the output of "ls /opt/parallax/bin/bst"? The"No such file or directory" means that it can't find BST. I suggest that you download it from the BST website, and cd to the folder, and try to run it from there ("./bst.linux" on my system). Once that works, you can "sudo cp bst.linux /opt/parallax/bin/bst" (assuming the /opt/parallax/bin folders exist).

Thank you,

I can't understand how is it possible. I tried it exactly as you mentioned yesterday and it didn't work. It was reason, why I started to experimet with it.
Now, when I downloaded it once again, extracted, it said:
./bst.linux: error while loading shared libraries: libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But I think, that I'll be able to solve this (it needs some library, as I mentioned).
Anyway, thank a lot

Mate, if you have a brand-new install of latest Ubuntu, you probably have GTK3, but not GTK2. gdk_pixbuf is part of GTK, but it may still be packaged separately.

Use Synaptic Package Manager to search for installed GTK2 items.
I am not exactly sure which you should have, but I suspect that 'GTK2-engines-pixbuf' might work.

Synaptic Package Manager's search feature will allow you to filter on 'installed' and 'all'. So you can verify what is installed before you changing things.

apt-cache search gtk2|grep lib|grep dev
should do it.
