Gedit-latex has been ported to Gedit 3.

So this post is to announce that I just have released gedit-latex 3.1.1. This is the first (unstable) release of Gtk3 port we did of the great plugin by Michael Zeising. You can download it from http://download.gnome.org/sources/gedit-latex/3.1/ and please file bugs against GNOME Bugzilla (product:gedit component:latex). We have been using it for quite some time and should be fairly stable. We hope to release Gedit-latex 3.2 along wi th the GNOME 3.2 Release.

Many thanks to Ignacio Casal Quinteiro, John Stowers, Lucas Roesler and Michael Zeising for all their help.

Enjoy!

  1. I got this error message in Oneiric Ubuntu with a very simple tex file (\documentclass{article}):

    TypeError: metaclass conflict: the metaclass of a derived class must be a (non-strict) subclass of the metaclasses of all its bases
    **
    ERROR:/build/buildd/pygobject-2.90.3/gi/_gobject/pygobject.c:904:pygobject_new_full: assertion failed: (tp != NULL)

  2. Gonzalo, which versions of gedit, pygobject, gtk and glib do you have? Gedit-latex is targeted to GNOME 3.2. You can also try the gnome-3-0 branch in git.gnome.org/gedit-latex, which targets GNOME 3.0

    Let me know and feel free to hang out in #gedit at irc.gimp.org if you need more help.

  5. I have the Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot 11.10 Beta-1 defaults:
    gedit 3.1.5,
    python-gobject 2.90.3-1svn1,
    libgtk2.0-0 2.24.6-0ubuntu,
    libglib2.0-0 2.29.90-0ubuntu,
    gnome 3.1.91.

    What do I have to git clone to get the gnome-3-0 version?

    Thanks for all

  8. Help! I can't get it to install on my machine. I get the following error:
    "configure: error: Package requirements (
    glib-2.0 >= 2.26.0
    gio-2.0 >= 2.26.0
    gtk+-3.0 >= 3.0.0
    ) were not met:

    No package 'glib-2.0' found
    No package 'gio-2.0' found
    No package 'gtk+-3.0' found"

    How do I install these packages? I assume it's pretty easy, but I just can't find them on synaptic. :-/

    BTW, I'm running Ubuntu oneiric beta and I've just noticed my gedit-latex is still on version 0.2.0. And you say the current version is 3.1.1? What gives? Were versions 1 and 2 just ignored by Canonical?

  9. Ok, Google is my friend. Installing libgtk-dev now and hoping for the best.

  10. Hello
    I got a problem with the installation. It compiles and installs fine but then it does not appear in the plugin list of gedit. Any idea what could be going wrong?

    I tried with gedit-latex 3.1 and 3.3, still the same problem.
    My gedit version is 3.2.0 under ubuntu64 11.10

  11. gedit 3 says that the plugin fails to load. Any idea for a possible solution? I'm running Oneiric with Gedit 3.2.1. Thanks

  12. It works great here. I have two requests, both have to do with optimizing screen use on small screens:

    1. Add an option to hide the LaTeX toolbar.
    2. Add a preview widget. The current solution of using a separate Evince instance works fine, but having it integrated into Gedit allows to go fullscreen and still have the preview in sight.

    Thank you for your work!

  14. Hello,
    I had installed successfully the plugin and it had worked well until that I tried to switch the Latex to Pdf accelerator from Ctrl+Alt+1 to Ctrl+L, gedit close itself when I open a tex file or click on Preferences button within Gedit Latex plugin.

    I also trying to delete the user tools.xml file in ~/home/.config/gedit/latex (a incomplete xml file), now I can open the Gedit Latex Preferences (without changing the accelerator) but when I tried to open the tex files, I got this error:
    TypeError: metaclass conflict: the metaclass of a derived class must be a (non-strict) subclass of the metaclasses of all its bases
    **
    ERROR:/build/buildd/pygobject-3.0.0/gi/_gobject/pygobject.c:929:pygobject_new_full: assertion failed: (tp != NULL)
    Aborted

    Thanks!
