It’s working for me with that configuration on Ubuntu.
Have you tried to downgrade your OTP version? That worked for me with 1.19.

Hi everyone,
I am using ubuntu 14LTS and this worked for me on both OPT20 Elixir 1.4 and Elixir 1.5:
apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-0
But my error was:
{:load_driver, 'libwx_gtk2u_stc-3.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'}
Anyway I hope it can help some of you !

reinstall fixed it for me:
sudo apt-get remove elixir
sudo apt-get remove esl-erlang
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install esl-erlang
sudo apt-get install elixir
after that I have a normal release and not an RC any more:
Erlang/OTP 20 [erts-9.0] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [ds:8:8:10] [async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]
somehow it was only doable with reinstall and not with update. My guess is RC made it there by mistake and we who updated to it were stuck with it

Unfortunately, it looks like it still doesn’t work on Mint.
It’s possible that I installed a stray dependency that needs to be cleared out.

Well if your Erlang was RC, it’s not anymore so that’s something
this was the RC error, now you get “WX Failed loading”
would be my guess too

I am also running Linux Mint 18.1 Serena, and I have been able to get Erlang/OTP 19 with :observer-support installed using the ASDF version manager, by following the ‘before install’ steps here, so maybe that helps

Hello I am new to that forum.
I just had the same problem and it cost me about half an hour to solve it.
Maybe after setup up the esl-erlang repository i found a packet in synaptic package manager called erlang-wx. This installed the correct library but not in
/usr/local/lib/erlang/lib/wx-1.8.1/priv as requested by iex error message.
Therefore I created a softlink in that directory to point to the installed lib
from erlang-ex at /usr/lib/erlang/lib/wx-1.8.4/priv// and now observer is working.
Thank you for posting the question.
