ERROR: Could not find 'wxe_driver.so'

Question

I got this error on my ubuntu when I run debugger:start().

Erlang R14B02 (erts-5.8.3) [source] [smp:4:4] [rq:4] [async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.8.3  (abort with ^G)
1> debugger:start().

=ERROR REPORT==== 14-Feb-2012::17:57:27 ===
ERROR: Could not find 'wxe_driver.so' in: /usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/wx-0.98.9/priv
{ok,<0.36.0>}

I want to know how to fix the error in order to use debugger ?

Answer 1

Are you running the default erlang running on ubuntu? Unfortunately there is no longer any erlang-wx package in ubuntu, see this for a discussion on why.

I would recommend downloading the deb package from here or just building erlang from source.
