Looks great, but any chance of a static compiled version for Linux 32/64bit?

I'm getting: ./sublime_text: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Linking with ln -s /usr/lib/libpng14.so.14 /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 doesn't work: ./sublime_text: /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0: version `PNG12_0' not found (required by ./sublime_text)

Which libraries are you referring to? Statically compiling GTK would seem a step too far.

EDIT: Ah, you've added that now. I'll do some investigation: could you let me (jps@sublimetext.com) know which distro you're running?

(I'm the author of Sublime Text, btw)

I got passed the libpng error by installing libpng12 from AUR. Now when I run ./sublime_text I get these errors: http://pastebin.com/NYWSaPSe It's strange because running "python PackageSetup.py" doesn't produce the same errors. My PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH are both correct. Using python 2.7.1 on arch.

I've just released an updated version of Sublime Text 2 that should address the Python issues, at least.

I thought arch moved to python 3 for /usr/bin/python so maybe that is causing the issue?

I'm running an up to date Archlinux distro.

thanks for taking the time to have a look!

If you manage to get it working, would you help a fellow Arch user and submit it to AUR?

Help -> About, then close Sublime 2, the About dialog still remains.
