Help on installation!

Post by GilmarFiocca »

Hi,

I am receiveing the message:

"The compiler isn't loaded yet... please try again."

What should I do?

I am using Ubuntu 32bit 15.10.
I ran "./checkinstall.sh" and received: "Everything seems correctly setup for PureBasic !"
I had to change only 1 package in this installation. (from libxine-dev to libxine2-dev).

The only problem I had when launching is the message that appears:

"** (purebasic:19135): CRITICAL **: murrine_style_draw_box_gap: assertion 'height >= -1' failed"

Can anyone help a newbie ?

Thanks,
Gilmar.

I have just installed a fresh Ubuntu 15.10 x86 on my Linux test system with 22 different natively installed distributions in order to reproduce your error but I haven't been successful. After installing Ubuntu 15.10 and running checkinstall.sh the following error was displayed:
checkinstall.sh wrote:No package 'gtk+-3.0' found
gtk+ 3.0 devel package need to be installed to use PureBasic
After installing libgtk-3-dev with
sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
the 2nd start of checkinstall.sh displayed:
checkinstall.sh wrote:Everything seems correctly setup for PureBasic !
When starting PureBasic 5.40 for the first time I was able to compile some test programs without any problems.

These are some hints you may check:
- Use Terminal to set your current folder to your PureBasic folder and try to start PureBasic using the script launch.sh.
- Into which folder did you install PureBasic? Have you followed the hints in the INSTALL file?
- Try to change your desktop theme. I tried the default theme "Ambiance", "Radiance" and "High Contrast" without problems. When using a customized theme please try to change to the default theme.

Hi,

The problem was solved by correcting environment variables (PUREBASIC_HOME and PATH).
I am really new to Linux.

Thanks.
