OS 1.8.0/EP 8.3./Ubuntu: How to run IDFVersionUpdater ?

when I try to start the bundled IDFVersionUpdater in terminal window:

 /usr/local/share/openstudio-1.8.0/EnergyPlus-8-3-0/PreProcess/IDFVersionUpdater/IDFVersionUpdater myFile.idf

the program responds with the error message:

Failed to find/load Framework library
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is this a bug or is there a more appropriate way to invoke the program ?

and BTW your handle makes it difficult to @mention you since the leading and trailing _ are interpreted as italics in markdown.

If you are using 14.04, that package should already be installed. It is listed in the default packages installed for Trusty here. If you aren't using Ubuntu 14.04, then it's not a platform we support, although you may be able to just apt-get install libgtk2.0-0.

libgtk2.0-0 is already installed, as I checked with synaptic. Thus the problem is still unresolved.

Can you provide the output of:

$ ldd /usr/local/share/openstudio-1.8.0/EnergyPlus-8-3-0/PreProcess/IDFVersionUpdater/IDFVersionUpdater

(Where ldd is L D D)
