I would like to use a text editor on the BeagleBoard.
When I attempt to run Abiword, nothing happens. I reinstalled using:
opkg update ; opkg install abiword
which ended with:
Package abiword (2.8.3-r2.5) installed in root is up to date.
and
opkg list_installed *abi*
shows abiword and related files, but the program doesn't run.
How can I run Abiword, or if not that, any recommendations for a different text editor? I'm aware of vim but would prefer something with a basic GUI or menus.
I tried installing gedit with
opkg update ; opkg install gedit
but it failed with the error:
:gedit: undefined symbol: g_malloc0_n

How are you attempting to run it? It runs fine on the
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard image.

That must be new. Is that when you invoke the application or during
the installation? What is the basis for the image you are running?

I've tried:
clicking the icon at the bottom of screen - no response
clicking Main > Applications > Office > AbiWord - no response
in x-terminal-emulator, navigating to /usr/bin and typing ./abiword gives the error:
./abiword: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libabiword-2.8.so: undefined symbol: g_malloc0_n
It runs fine on the
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard image.
I have:

Can you try:
opkg update
opkg upgrade
Not sure if it'll work, but it seems you might have pulled a
temporarily broken version of glib.
try to see if any library is missing. I presume the gtk library are not
fully installed.
Please run the following command
ldd /usr/bin/abiword
and post the result on the list.
I don't have any clue about angstrong Distribution, but I think is a
missing package in abiword dependencies.
Anyway, you really need a graphic editor ? You can use nano or pico which
are very good editors but for console.

opgk update completed but the screen showed a window with:
Enlightenment Error.
This is very bad. Enlightenment SEGV'd....
Please compile everything with -g in your CFLAGS.
When I reboot, I get a black screen with a flashing white X in the middle. So the text editor question is moot for now.

Sounds like something really got corrupted on your system. Koen and I
recommend that you just generate a new file system image with the
applications you want on it using Narcissus
(http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/narcissus).
