Installing Gummi in openSUSE 12.2
Since yesterday i started using LaTeX. So i was searching which LateX editor fix better in my needs. After searching and testing i use Gummi. Let’s see what is going on :
What is Gummi?
Gummi is a LaTeX editor for the Linux platform, written in C/GTK+. It was designed with simplicity in mind, but hopes to appeal to both novice and more advanced LaTeX writers. Gummi was released as free opensource software under the MIT license. [1]
Installing Gummi
In order to install Gummi in openSUSE you have to install the following packages :
- gummi (by typing sudo zypper in gummi , in the terminal)
Problem
After installing the gummi package , i couldn’t execute gummi and saw the follwoing error message
“Failed to execute child process “enchant-lsmod” (No such file or directory)”
Solution
The solution to this problem is to install the following packages :
- enchant (and 5 sub-packages) [2]
- enchant-devel
- libenchant1 [3]
After installing them , Gummi will work fine!

It’s enough to install enchant-tools package.

The “problem” section translates to a bug in the package – missing dependencies. I didn’t find a bugreport, therefore I just created it: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=796277

Hi!
I am about to submit as an online-update of version 0.6.4 for gummi that fixes this
problem; there should be no need to install enchant-tools actually, it is a bug
in gummi version 0.6.3 that is fixed in 0.6.4. Could someone test (uninstalling
enchant-tools from his system and installing gummi version 0.6.4 from
obs://Publishing) if this update fixes the issue all right?
Thanks.
