I installed Spyder on my 64-bit Ubuntu box from the repositories (apt-get). When attempting to launch, I get splash screen and loading messages (in the splash) until eventually it hangs. No window ever appears.
In an attempt to figure out the issue, I pulled down the git repo and launched Spyder from bootstrap.py to the same result. Running it with --debug gives the following output: me@xubuntu:~/spyder$ python bootstrap.py --debug > Executing Spyder from source checkout > Revision 0bb07e0, Branch: master > 01. Patched sys.path with /home/me/spyder > 02. PySide is detected, selecting > 0x. Switching debug mode on > 03. Imported Spyder 3.0.0dev > [Python 2.7.6 64bits, Qt 4.8.6, PySide 1.2.1 on Linux] > 04.

Some searching around turned up this <https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/796060/> similar result which leads me to think that the issue might have something to do with conflicting Gtk library versions loaded at the same time. I intend on digging through the code to see if I can't find out at what point conflicting libraries are being loaded and try to force one consistent version (assuming that is the issue). I figured I would post my issues/progress here in case anyone has encountered or will encounter the same issue. I should note that launching spyder -l from the terminal succeeds; I get a Spyder python terminal as expected. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "spyder" group.
