Unable to start sublime text

I had been using Sublime Text 2 with no issues. I installed IDLE and now I'm unable to start Sublime Text. I tried uninstalling IDLE, but Sublime Text is still not starting. Here's the error:

Any solutions?

Solution 1:

I had a similar error but I just had to issue sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0 and all the other dependencies were pulled automatically.

Solution 2:

In my case trying to run Sublime in a host without X-es gave me that error.

Installing following packages has solved the problem:

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libfontconfig1 libxrender1 libx11-6 libglib2.0-0  libxft2 libfreetype6 libc6 zlib1g libpng12-0 libstdc++6-4.8-dbg-arm64-cross libgcc1 

(I haven't checked if ALL of them are really needed)

Solution 3:

You installed a version of Sublime Text that does not match the processor architecture of your Ubuntu installation.

There are two downloads available, Ubuntu 64bit (also known as amd64) and Ubuntu 32bit (also i386). If the output of uname -a contains x86_64 you have a 64bit install of Ubuntu and should use the 64bit package of Sublime Text.

Just download the appropriate package and install it.

Note: The amd64 designation is a bit confusing. If you have a 64bit Intel processor you still use the amd64 packages.
