I am running 16.04 with evince GNOME Document Viewer 3.20.1
Now evince 4.X displays hyperlinks as pop-up windows, which is very useful for documents with equations.
I installed evince 4.4 via snap
sudo install snap
and even linked the binaries to /usr/local/bin
sudo ln -s /snap/bin/evince /usr/local/bin/evince
However the daemon does not start!
snap services just shows
Service Startup Current Notes
cups.cups-browsed enabled active -
cups.cupsd enabled active -
but I need the
org.gnome.evince.Daemon.service
so
I changed the line
[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.gnome.evince.Daemon
Exec=/usr/lib/evince/evinced
SystemdService=evince.service
to
[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.gnome.evince.Daemon
Exec=/snap/evince/current/usr/libexec/evinced
SystemdService=evince.service
but it did not help
running
/snap/evince/current/usr/libexec/evinced
resulted in
/snap/evince/current/usr/libexec/evinced: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by /snap/evince/current/usr/libexec/evinced)
which is odd since I thought the idea of snap is, to have a self-contained binary without external dependencies.
I have no glibc 2.34 installed and rather prefer not to mess up my 16.04 distribution
the point is I need evinced to run, so that Emacs is able to communicate between the latex source file and the pdf file displayed by evince (forward and inverse search from source to pdf)
any ideas?
thanks in advance
