====== STATA 12 on 64Bit SLES 11 sp1 - libgtksourceview-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file ======

Today i tried to install STATA12 Statistics Software on a SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 sp1 64bit and stumbled over an error message that some library is yet not found:

<code>
host:/usr/local/stata12 # xstata
xstata: error while loading shared libraries: libgtksourceview-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
</code>

While investigating the problem i found out that a newer Version of that library has been installed by default at **/usr/lib64/libgtksourceview-2.0.so.0**. I was not able to find any reliable document on the Internet covering this Problem and nor i was able to find a matching RPM Package in the SLES Repositories. After some more investigating i found out that the **libgtksourceview-1.0.so.0** is supposed to be Part of another RPM Package called **"gtksourceview18"** (Duh!). So a simple...

<code>
zypper install gtksourceview18
</code>

... did the Trick! Now STATA 12 looks satisfied and happy.


Hopefully with my little Page here you are not going to struggle as long as i did. 


GOOD LUCK and Happy Linuxing!
