Can't get strata to run - libexpat problem

[jad]

I've just installed strata, but when I try to run it, I get the following error:
[jad@Vigor65 ~]$ /opt/kstrata/bin/kstrata &
[1] 3909
/opt/kstrata/bin/kstrata: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Obviously a libexpat problem.

I've got expat 1.95 installed:
[jad@Vigor65 ~]$ rpm -qa|grep expat
expat-1.95.8-8.2.1
expat-devel-1.95.8-8.2.1
[jad@Vigor65 ~]$ locate libexpat
/lib/libexpat.so.0
/lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0
/usr/lib/libexpat.a
/usr/lib/libexpat.la
/usr/lib/libexpat.so

Can anyone give me any pointers to getting this to work?

Hello,

Try creating a symbolic link from libexpat.so.1 pointing to the real so binary. This might solve the problem for now. However, we should probably statically link to libexpat instead of using the system-supplied one. This would make it more compatible across distributions.

Thanks for the report,
Ben

That did the trick, thanks.

Now, when I try to run it, I get the following:
[jad@Vigor65 ~]$ [Debug] 05:49:45 PM: bitmapmgr.cpp(250): assert "wxAssertFailure" failed in lookupBitmap(): Image not found in imgres.zip

Also get a popup with the same information, with the 'Stop'/'Continue' options - Continue seems to launch the product with no further problems though (which on first glance, looks great!)

Hello,

Yeah, the assert for the imgres.zip is a known bug which we've fixed in our internal builds. The next beta will have the fix included.

Pressing continue solves the problem in the present beta.

Thanks for the report,
Ben

Hello,

This bug has been resolved, and the fix will be included in our upcoming beta (probably today).
