Linux Install of 3l94 on Ubuntu not working. Error in messg

neomlsra · Post by **neomlsra** » Sun Nov 13, 2005 10:12 pm

I have used the debian install for my Ubuntu build of Linux. I am trying to get it to run and get the following error:

"Details: Failed to execute child process "/usr/share/purebasic/compilers/purebasic.exe" (Permission denied)"

I am not a Linux expert so any help would be appreciated.

I followed the instructions for installing it on a debian install. Everything appears to be in the correct directories.

Thanks!

You installed as root, correct? using su or sudo?

I installed as root using the following command in Ubuntu

sudo su

That happened to me on Fedora Core too. (I used the general compressed download.) And I was logged in as root.

open a terminal and SU yourself and type

chown -R YourUserName /usr/share/purebasic/

replacing "YourUserName" with your own username of course

also if you installed PB to a different location, you'll need to change the path too!

that should fix your ownership problems

I followed your advise and now I get the following error message:

The 3D Engine Can't be initialized

Any advise?

Yes, use Windows.

actually, I get that same problem.. I'll look into it a bit more... I suspect there is something missing from the SDL packages...

Yes, I finally got it working after installing the SDL packages again and making sure that the libs were all in place. I am wondering though there appears to be no GUI Desiger in place for doing forms, etc. What are we supposed to use in Linux?

Got also problems on my Ubuntu. The Debian package doesn't work and says something about CVS being a directory :roll: I am not at this Linux box at the moment so I can't say anything more about this error.
When I use the tar.gz version It says can't load any PureLibaries I suppose it's because the PATH Variable I set with the shellscript is somehow wrong. Got problems last time too, but hopefully it will work again because I had to reinstall Ubuntu after trying to install the ATI Driver and didn't backup the X.org config file. That's what I hate about Linux even comercial installs arent that safe. Another example: In the installation process (of the ATI Driver) you could choose a Ubuntu ready install but you can't because the window is to big and so you can't click on it and moving windows out of the Screen is only possible with the driver you want to install.

// Edit : Works now I had to copy files from the tar.gz versuion into the directory created by the deb pakacge but nevermind
