Re: st: X11 Forwarding and Do-File Editor

[Rosi <gouz.gr@gmail.com>]

Hey Brad.

For linux I have the following suggestions as I have encountered a 
similar problem.

a) install Static Version and not Dynamic.

b) if you can get the libgtksourceview1.0-0 library then do so.
You can do it from the command line if your distro support apt-get by typing

sudo apt-get install libgtksourceview1.0-0

if not try to find it in a package manager.

I run Debian 6 and the libgtksourceview1.0-0 is not supported so I had 
to link libgtksourceview2.0-0 to libgtksourceview1.0-0 the DO Editor 
crashes still so the only thing left for me is to try the Static Version 
of STATA 11 as Tech Support suggested.

if non of the above helps, you are in the same boat as me. Talk to tech 
support.

Best
Rosi
