Installing PB 3.93 beta 1

GeoTrail · Post by **GeoTrail** » Wed Jun 15, 2005 1:09 pm

I'm having problems installing PB using the new install instructions that comes with PB 3.93 beta 1.

It says:

a) Setup the PUREBASIC_HOME environment variable to your purebasic
path. It can be done like this (if you have put purebasic in your
home directory:

export PUREBASIC_HOME=~/purebasic

b) Add the purebasic/compilers/ directory to you path, as it's
where all purebasic binaries are. This can be done like this:

export PATH=$PUREBASIC_HOME/compilers:$PATH

After these 2 steps, you should be able to type 'pbcompiler' in a shell
and you ready to use the IDE, just type 'purebasic'.

But when I type pbcompiler it returns "bash: pbcompiler: command not found
"

I have installed Ubuntu 5.04.

Here are what I typed in the shell according to the install file:

# export PUREBASIC_HOME=~/purebasic
# export PATH=$PUREBASIC_HOME/compilers:$PATH

I copied the whole purebasic folder inside my Home folder which I think is correct! ?

I don't know why, but I can't manage to install the last beta by following the new installation way too...

Hi,

for now, use the second way to install this beta... the recommended way isn't working correctly....

become root and copy the files as described in the INSTALL-file and... enjoy

I just installed the latest Fedora Core 4 and tried the new install procedure, it works great here. Seems to be a difference in paths or something

As I wrote above the install went well on Fedora 4.
But when I try to run the IDE by typing purebasic I get this error:

bash: /home/geotrail/purebasic/compilers/purebasic: Permission denied

$chmod +x /home/geotrail/purebasic/compilers/purebasic
then run again, what happen?

Yes it worked when I changed the execute permission.
But, libstdc++ is missing and I can't find it in the Fedora 4 packages.
I have looked inside each and every package on the install disc which is a DVD

Does anyone know how to search for it? Or perhaps some commands I can type in the shell to manually install the libs?

If you're using Fedora, all you need is to be root:
#yum install libstdc++ compat-libstdc++

That didn't seem to work.
Here's what I got in return:

# yum install libstdc++ compat-libstdc++

This is exactly why I hate Linux

Anyways, it's working now. Sort off anyways. But it seems I have gtk+2 installed instead of gtk-1.2

It was not against you, don't worry, it was against the complexity of Linux

And of the fact that I think Linux is bloated without being bloated (my Mandrake take 2GB on the hard drive, but I still have to use sdl, gtk, ... to use Purebasic), hard to use and useless

Which distro would you reccommend?

What I need is a Linux that is easy to install PB on, and so I can use the new IDE. Other than that I want Firefox 1.0.4 and Evolution. And preferably Gnome

Any good suggestions?
