[Arch Linux] Error: Failed to launch child process in CodeLite

Post by agopen »

System Information:

  • OS: Arch

  • Window Manager: Hyprland

Note: I install codelite from AUR

Problem Description:
When I click Run (ctrl + F5) in CodeLite, I receive the following error:

Code: Select all

Failed to launch child: /bin/bash -f "/home/jammah/.codelite/tmp/jammah/codelite-exec.sh"
With error: No such file or directory

I am using kitty as my default terminal, but in Preferences > Terminal, the only option available is gnome-terminal.

Also, if I go to the desired path and run the file myself, I don't get an error.

Is there a way to not get such an error when I hit run? Or is this a bug?
