The page http://www.linuxsampler.org/downloads.html currently provides pre-compiled binaries for several operating systems including Debian "Jessie" linking to the page http://download.linuxsampler.org/packages/debian/ with individual Debian (.deb) binary packages for each software component, compiled for Intel 64 bit / AMD 64 bit (Debian 8 stable, a.k.a "Jessie"). The component gigedit under the link http://download.linuxsampler.org/packages/debian/gigedit_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb refuses installation with the following error message: --------------- Xterm ----------- Preparing to unpack gigedit_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb ...

The command $: sudo ldconfig -v | egrep -i "libatkmm|libcairomm|libglibmm|libgtkmm|libpangomm|libsigc++" returns $: libatkmm-1.6.so.1 -> libatkmm-1.6.so.1.1.0 libcairomm-1.0.so.1 -> libcairomm-1.0.so.1.4.0 libsigc-2.0.so.0 -> libsigc-2.0.so.0.0.0 libglibmm-2.4.so.1 -> libglibmm-2.4.so.1.3.0 libglibmm_generate_extra_defs-2.4.so.1 -> libglibmm_generate_extra_defs-2.4.so.1.3.0 libgtkmm-3.0.so.1 -> libgtkmm-3.0.so.1.1.0 libgtkmm-2.4.so.1 -> libgtkmm-2.4.so.1.1.0 libpangomm-1.4.so.1 -> libpangomm-1.4.so.1.0.30 But the synaptic package manager indicates that these packages have different version flags confusing me to give a better bug report ...
PS: Can confirm this bug on Debian Jessie with LXDE/openbox and on Debian testing/unstable ...
Those precompiled Debian packages are currently completely outdated. We will probably add building Debian packages as automatic snapshots to our server side automated build system. In the meantime please use the latest version of LinuxSampler from SVN and compile the Debian packages for your system by yourself, like described here: http://linuxsampler.org/debian.html
