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)

Sublime Text is awesome, the main reason I was being stuck with Windows for a long time. But having to use bash and not wanting to pay a lot of money made me learn Emacs.

How many people are willing to pay 59$ for a pretty simple (yet awesome, but not in the sophisticated feature-rich Java-world way) editor? My bet it isn't public information but maybe someone have similar statistics

I literally had never heard of this before. I just downloaded it for Ubuntu and HOT DAMN! I am buying this for sure.

For anyone waiting for textmate 2, give this a look. It may very well be just what you are looking for.

Best part is you can completely change all the keybindings (if you want) so you can create your VIM or Emacs setup if you so choose.

Happy day....

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 running an up to date Archlinux distro.

thanks for taking the time to have a look!

I have been using Sublime Text for about a year now and it's my killer app for Windows. I've had to learn to use msysGit and plink/putty/pageant just because I had to have Sublime Text as my environment.

I've already informed my boss he has to buy ST2 as soon as it's available. It is, especially with Zen Coding plugin, one of my favorite programs (design/function/utility) that I've ever installed, and I've tried a bunch of the "programmers" text editors for Windows and Linux.

Thanks Jon!

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

I've been using Sublime for quite some time on Win7, and I'm in love.

I keep trying to use Linux as my development platform, and I won't use a Mac (I got beaten with a mac as a young man. It's an emotional reponse), but for some reason I really dislike every nix text editor I've ever tried (emacs, vi, vim, gedit, kate, etc...) and constantly surprised at how ugly and inelegant the text editing world seems on the nix side. BTW, I'm not trying to flame or argue, this is just IMHO.

I've recently been doing some work with mongrel2, lua and Tir, which means that I have to develop on Linux, but I've been very crabby about using text editors that I really dislike. So, I'm really glad to have a port of sublime that works on linux.

Thanks for all the hard work, and I'm really looking forward to the new changes. Keep up the great work!
