Did a recent install of Sublime Text on a fresh install of Debian 12.1 with KDE Plasma. I followed directions from https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/linux_repositories.html for installing from the apt repo. Installs fine, but when I try and run it it gives me an error
$ subl
/usr/bin/subl: 2: exec: /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text: not found
Does /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text exist? What does ldd /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text output?
Nope, /opt/sublime_text dir doesn’t exist.
And here’s the output as regular user
$ ldd /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text
ldd: /opt/sublime_text/sublime_text: No such file or directory
And here is the system saying it’s installed
$ dpkg -l | grep sublime
ii sublime-text 4152 amd64 Sublime Text is a sophisticated text editor for code, markup and prose
Something definitely went wrong installing that package, that file is supposed to exist. I’d try removing and reinstalling it.
Yeah, that did the trick. I think /opt hadn’t been created before, and for some reason didn’t get created. But because I created /opt for something else, it worked fine this time. Weird.
All installed and licensed now
