Disclaimer: This method is not officially supported, therefore it is not guaranteed that this method will work under Ubuntu 9.04 / 9.10 and any future updates. Also this tutorial is intended for intermediate and advanced Ubuntu users as it involves some terminal work.

How To

1. Check that you have getlibs installed – it should be available via the Synaptic Package Manager.
2. Download the Pagico installer file as you need from here.
3. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory in which the installer file was saved.
4. Because this installer will be for a 32 bit architecture, we have to ‘force’ install. So type:
   sudo -i dpkg -i –force-architecture pagico……
5. Do NOT run Pagico from a menu or by invoking Gnome Do or such like yet. Instead run it from a terminal first in order to figure out what libraries it’s going to need.
6. Simply type ‘pagico’ (followed by “enter”) in the terminal.
7. You’ll get a series of error messages which will point you to the libraries that are missing. You’ll probably see something like: ‘error while loading shared libraries: libxxx..so.6′
8. This is where getlibs does its thing. Using the above as an example we’d type ’sudo -i getlibs -l libxxx.so.6′, and that should then take care of that library. For each missing library do the same using its name exactly as displayed in the error message.
9. Keep doing this until eventually Pagico should run from the terminal. When that happens you can then launch Pagico via the menu command, or however you like.
10. When you upgrade to a newer version of Pagico you’ll have to follow this procedure, but there are normally only two or three shared libraries to update.
