Linux| Paintstorm not launching.

[Roart]

Howdy!
Ive recently switched from Solus back to a Debian based distro (UbuntuStudio) and i came across an issue i can't seem to figure out.I installed Paintstorm via the latest .run file an all dependencies were met and it installed how ever it wont launch. I didnt have this problem before hand. I tried chown-ing the file and changing the permissions.I also tried the terminal but it cant find it to remove it or anything for that matter.I'm just stumped on with to do. Any one got an idea???

run it from the terminal and see if you get any errors... you have to manually enter the path to the paintstorm executable.

/usr/share/paintstorm/Paintstorm: error while loading shared libraries: libGLEW.so.1.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Pffft.I'm an idiot. its a lib problem. Thank you for your help!

Hi Roart, how did you fix it ???
I ask because I recently ran into this exact problem when using latest Linux Mint Cinammon.

For me using "sudo apt install libglew1.13" just doesn't work.
(system answer is: "Couldn't find any package by glob 'libGLEW1.13'")

And when trying installing libglew 2.0, I only get this:
"libglew2.0 is already the newest version (2.0.0-5)."

What to do now? I cannot start and use PaintStrom on linux.

I don't know if you're still here, but you where almost there.
You just need to perform the very last part of this guide.

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLEW.so.2.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLEW.so.1.13

That should make Paintstorm launch perfectly.

Oh, baby... At last I am able to run this fine piece of software in Linux system. I just followed tutorial posted http://www.paintstormstudio.com/forum/v ... 8560#p8405. It shows the way it should be done. And it works! Kudos to its author!
