I recently upgraded my system to Ubuntu 20.04. Apparently, Ubuntu no longer provides Qt4, which makes it impossible to start the Spirit configuration software (3.0.0). (Qt4 was dropped from Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=953294)

Code: Select all

$ ./settings.sh 
./settings-x86_64: error while loading shared libraries: libQtGui.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

$ ldd settings-x86_64                                                                                                                                                                     ✘

Hello,

no need to install anything. Just start: settings.sh script and everything should work.

I kept getting an error until I installed the qt4 libraries.. fairly fresh default installation from a couple of days ago. Any idea what else I could have been doing wrong?

It works on my Ubuntu 20.04 installation. I had to install libaudio2, but nothing more. Qt4 is bundled with the Spirit software, so no PPA required.
