Then it's not only the link name, is it?

Haha, I have to laugh now

"3.10"

But yeah on the serious side, I will test this when I install Linux again, maybe soon.

Impossible to compile here from IDE : "The compiler isn't loaded yes ... please try again" messagebox.

(Linux Ubuntu 7.04)

Make sure you have the access rights for the compiler right and have updated correctly
(do NOT copy over an old version, use a new directory)

Can you compile from the commandline ?

I can confirm it's working here on Ubuntu 7.04 (standard except for a home built 2.6.22.1 Kernel)

I have all the access rights and it was installed in a new directory called "purebasic_4.10_beta2" (in my /home) ...

After your post, i renamed this directory to "purebasic", launched the IDE and it does compile ! I renamed back to "purebasic_4.10_beta2" and it works again ... strange thing

Note : when PB4.10b2 was not working, there was no version number in the about box of the IDE. We could see : "Purebasic (Linux - x86) - Feel the ..Pure.. Power ...."

I do a lot of console type programs and the console functions don't work, I use Koppix hard-drive install.

Please post some code that shows your problem in the Bugs section.
A comment like this with no further information is of no help.

freak, Openconsole()
will not open a console, do I need some specific libraries?

dracflamloc · Post by **dracflamloc** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 2:33 am

To my knowledge openconsole() does not behave like it does on windows, (ie: doesnt open a terminal shell for you). If you use a pipe to read the output of your program or start it from within an already opened console then you should see the output.

thank dracflamloc, but I miss the quick and dirty input / output of a console/terminal, freak, could that be implemented so it would behave like in the Windows version?
