[SOLVED] Kompozer suddenly terminates, anyone else using it?

[benali]

Kompozer 0.7.10 disappears under certain conditions under Vector Std 7.0.  By "disappears" I mean that the panel instantly disappears without warning and the 2 Kompozer processes immediately terminate.

This happens if you --

1. pick View  from the top menu then Show/Hide (or Text Zoom or Character Encoding)
2. pick File  from the top menu then Recent Pages
3. there may be other cases I haven't discovered yet

The install of Kompozer went fine according to Gslapt's completion message but I haven't checked any logs.

Anybody else using Kompozer? These issues make it pretty hard to use the product.

Thank you.

KompoZer 0.7.10 is not compatible with GTK ≥ 2.14, so it is obsolete for VL7. The latest is 0.8b3, from March 2010, so development is pretty much stalled, if not stopped. Everyone is still hoping for the promised day when kompozer code is merged back to SeaMonkey Composer...

[benali]

Oh ok, thank you. I had loaded Kompozer from the V7 repository so I thought that meant it was compatible with V7.

Any suggestions on which HTML editor I can use instead? I've got Bluefish but it doesn't appear to support a "text editor" view (it always shows the HTML tags which I don't want to see).

Thank you!

Try Bluegriffon.  We have version 1.4 in the repository, but I see version 1.4.1 is out now.
You can read about it here

Hey, great,  I downloaded Bluegriffon and it works fine. It has both the WYSIWYG and HTML Source buttons, which is what I need.

Thank you!

[benali]

BTW, I see both versions of Bluegriffon in the repository right now.

1.4 works great, 1.4.1 does NOT work at all. You launch it and it fails immediately.

This is with VectorLinux Standard Edition 7.0.

Thank you.

interestingly enough the source button is greyed out in 1.4

Tested Bluegriffon 1.4.1 get the folllowing when ran from terminal.
/opt/bluegriffon/bluegriffon-bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by /opt/bluegriffon/libxul.so)

I am going to remove 1.4.1 from repo's until another build can be made.

Thanks for testing and quick feedback.

Bluegriffon-1.4.1 need gcc > 4.6.x to run. Currently VL7 is using gcc-4.5.2 which will cause error...
