Error given - missing libwx_gtk3u_core-3.0.so.0

David, thanks very much for your work, I've been able to follow the development of the 2.3.x slicer on my pi4 without any risks to my PC based slicing activities. Really appreciate it.

This new, final, AppImage version seems to have an additional dependency. I can't remember the exact error message, but it was along the lines of there's a missing shared library - libwx_gtk3u_core-3.0.so.0.

I did re-do the apt-get install that you quote and reboot but that wasn't the problem. My Google research pointed me to the libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5 library for the missing libwx_gtk3u_core-3.0.so.0 which I installed and now 2.3.0 works.

The program start-up is a little different from previous versions; there's a bit of wallpaper flashing and the Prusa Slicer Flash screen doesn't show, or maybe very, very briefly. I haven't yet tried a PC version of 2.3.0 so I don't know if this behaviour is reflected in that version too. Makes me wonder if I got the right library for libwx_gtk3u_core-3.0.so.0.

Anyway, thanks again,
Eric

Hi Eric,

I've added it as a dependency, thanks! That slipped through during the transition to GTK3.

I did notice the flashing and lack of splash screen as well -- I don't think this is a result of the distribution's library.. The splash screen does appear very briefly if settings are cleared (just before the wizard takes over) and appears consistently when run on X over SSH..

It's quite likely that the AppImage is missing something (i'm uncertain as to what, and will keep digging).

Thanks again for using the AppImages and filing these issues! It's always much appreciated.
