There is a serious bug somewhere between spatialite-gui and the new
wxgtk-3.0. This has rendered spatialite-gui nearly unusable. It
crashes any time you try to load a shapefile; typing into the sql
window is sporadic and unreliable. In short - a "show stopper".
This has been discussed pretty thoroughly a month ago on the
spatialite-users maillist:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/spatialite-users/p0AfZ23u-yY">https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/spatialite-users/p0AfZ23u-yY</a><br>
<br>
The version of spatialite-gui that is available from the standard
Ubuntu repos is still (luckily) based on wxgtk-2.8 and works fine.
But when you enable ubuntugis-testing you get a replacement, buggy
spatialite-gui compiled against wxgtk-3.0.<br>
<br>
The version in our osgeolive ppa is this bug-ridden version. Can
this get replaced with the older package from standard ubuntu (or
just removed entirely, then the install script should just find the
older deb from ubuntu)?<br>
<br>
I will try to keep an eye on the ubuntugis packaging, and wait for a
stable version with wxgtk-3.0.2 or so. <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
