Does someone do a tutorial for installing Purebasic on Ubuntu, please ?

You just need to read the INSTALL file and all is explained in it. It should be easy enough (i hope)

.

At Ubuntu's users, are you agree with Fred ? just need to read the install file ?

As there is no other choices for now, i would suggest to do so.

Excuse me to be so bad, but i prefer being sure that Purebasic runs on ubuntu before installing it. Because before, i have installed a lot of distributions !

Excuse moi d'etre aussi chiant, mais je préfere etre sur que PureBasic fonctionne sous Ubuntu avant de l'installer. J'ai déjà installé pas mal de distribs !

It sure runs, there's just some problems with the debian packaging.

No, i mean it wasn't the question asked if it worked on Unbuntu or not.

Not at first, he asked for a tutorial. The 'your' wasn't for 'Trond' but for 'Progi1984'.

Oh that explains it!

Yeah I run it on Ubutu two and did both installing with tar.gz archive and with debian apckage (one formatting the disc in between. AndI have to sayI had this problem on my machine too but it is really easy to solve so nothing to worry about.
