ING Home’bank HOWTO for Ubuntu

November 21st, 2007 by elise Leave a reply »

When you start using the ING homebank on Xubuntu, they obligingly tell you this.

But this is not near enough to make it work. Here’s wat you need for Ubuntu.
Normally, you’ve got libtiff installed, but if you don’t, do this:
sudo apt-get install libtiff4
It turns out they need libtiff.so.3. The current (and only) version provided with (X)Ubuntu is 4(.2.1). But that’s OK, libtiff4 seems to be backwards compatible, so in /usr/lib:
sudo ln -s libtiff.so.4.2.1 libtiff.so.3
(thanks to Jesus for the correction)
Then:
sudo apt-get install libstdc++2.10-dev

You then load your profile, say
. /home/elise/.homebank

This will get HBSecurity to start up.

    Hey, i think there is a little mistake with the command:
    ln -s libtiff.so.3 libtiff.so.4.2.1
    The order is wrong, it should be like this:
    sudo ln -s libtiff.so.4.2.1 libtiff.so.3

    Great article btw ;) Salutjes!

    Hi,

    I’m on Gutsy Gibbon and can’t find libstdc++2.10-dev in the repos did you upgrade lately ? Does your homebanking work ?

    eab@palantir:~$ sudo apt-get install libstdc++2.10-dev
    Reading package lists… Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information… Done
    Package libstdc++2.10-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source
    E: Package libstdc++2.10-dev has no installation candidate

    Any suggestions?
