wunderlist not execuring on ubuntu 12.04 64bit

Question

I am having some trouble with wunderlist in ubuntu 12.04 64bit.

I followed the instructions on http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/how-to-install-wunderlist-in-ubuntu.html and http://support.wunderlist.com/customer/portal/questions/63885-ubuntu-11-1-installation-?new=63885

It seemed to have installed on my system, the icon is available in my menu. However when I click to run the app it does nothing.

When I try to run the app through terminal with /opt/Wunderlist-1.2.4/Wunderlist

I get this response /opt/Wunderlist-1.2.4/Wunderlist: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

And that is where the files where installed in, unless I am doing it wrong?

Answer 1

Checking on one of my systems which package provide the shared library mentioned returns

$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
libgtk2.0-0: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0

So you probably have to run

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0

to install the shared library that wundelist complains missing...

Edit:
Turned out the link on the Wunderlist website points by default to the 32bit version of Wunderlist. On a 64bit system (as you have), it's better to use the 64bit version of Wunderlist, which is just a little bit hidden: https://s3.amazonaws.com/wunderlist/wunderlist-1.2.4-linux-64.tgz
Using this version and the method described in the links in your post, we got it working!

Answer 2

Here is an alternative to installing Wunderlist:

First you will need to install Fogger. You can install it by clicking on the button below.

Then you will need to go to this site and follow these instructions.

Hope this helps you!
