CodeLite IDE

Hi,

Just installed codelite 9.1-1.trusty on Ubuntu 14.04 (64bits).
Tried to start it, but it crashed.
The backtrace is:

*** Error in `/usr/bin/codelite': free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007fff8854e280 ***

Any idea how to fix the problem?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

It's crashing trying to load the wxCrafter plugin. I don't know why this would actually cause a crash (usually if there's a problem it just fails to load), but I've seen similar ones before.

First, try uninstalling wxCrafter and try CodeLite again. If I'm right, it'll now run OK.

If so, check you have the correct wxCrafter version; it should be wxcrafter_2.5-1.trusty_amd64.deb, with a size of 1785008 bytes.

Please report back with your results.

Regards,

David

I checked the version of wxcrafter. It was wxcrafter 2.6-1.xenial. Since I do not need it, I just removed it, and Codelite started without a problem.

Thanks
