Bible Analyzer User's Forum

Hi

I recently moved to Linux Mint 19.3.

I tried out Linux on an old laptop, put Mint 19.3 on it and downloaded BA. BA Installed and worked great.

Switched my main laptop over to Linux. Regretfully installed Mint 20. Tried installing BA and of course would not install. (Would need the Beta 5.4 to get BA to work on Mint 20.)

BA worked great on the old laptop running Mint 19.3

So I did another fresh install of Mint 19.3 on my main laptop, tried installed BA. Synaptic package manager lists it as installed. Click on BA in the menu and I get nothing.

Tried sudo bibleanalyzer in the terminal and got:

************ Starting Bible Analyzer *************

Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'HtmlListBox'

The last line has an error.

Don't understand. Two computers both running Mint 19.3, BA works on one and not the other.

The old one is a HP Pavilion 4 gig ram, quad core
The current one is a HP EliteBook 16 gig ram, i5

I removed and reinstalled BA a couple times, doesn't help.

Any Ideas?

Bible Analyzer 5.2 requires python.wxgtk3.0. Your system installed the newer 4.0. Download 3.0 and Bible Analyzer should run as it does on your other system.

Says python-wxgtk3.0 is already installed.

I googled, how to install python-wxgtk3.0

tom@EliteBook:~$ sudo apt-get install -y python-wxgtk3.0
[sudo] password for tom:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
python-wxgtk3.0 is already the newest version (3.0.2.0+dfsg-7).
python-wxgtk3.0 set to manually installed.
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
python-pip-whl
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 15 not upgraded.

Thank you for your reply

Ok, now remove version 4.0 because Linux always defaults to the newest installed version.

After removal it wouldn't hurt to check that version 3.0 is still installed correctly.

Thank you for your help.

I still have issues.

tom@EliteBook:~$ sudo apt-get --purge remove python-wxgtk4.0
[sudo] password for tom:

Package 'python-wxgtk4.0' is not installed, so not removed


However when I do:

tom@EliteBook:~$ sudo bibleanalyzer

Is my "sudo apt-get --purge remove python-wxgtk4.0" wrong?

Thank You

pip and apt will each install in separate folders. Try uninstalling both 3.0 and 4.0 in both then install only 3.0 using "apt-get"

Solved: I am posting this for anyone else who ends up with similar troubles.

Somehow my Linux system installed wxPython 4.0 (my best guess is doing “dist-upgrade”)

Even after “apt-get --purge remove python-wxgtk4.0” there were still remnants of wxPython 4.0 somewhere in /home.

Although I had removed and reinstalled Bible Analyzer and reinstalled the Linux distro multiple times, since my /home folder was on a different partition which wasn’t being overwritten, the remnant of wxPython 4.0 continued to cause the issue.

I created a new partition and moved my personal files to that partition, then installed the distro again, overwriting the /home folder. Now Bible Analyzer opens and runs as it should.

Great!
