PureBasic Forums - English

I've installed as per the install file for linux, but I really have no clue what I'm doing on linux. Any getting started docs around? I assume that I need to find some editor of my own like a built in one.

I tried to compile one of the examples and got

Can't load any PureLibraries ! Please re-install PureBasic

but when I just run the program it returns as the install file says it should

[root@localhost bin]# pbcompiler

******************************************
PureBasic Linux x86 v3.50
******************************************

A filename must be specified.

Am I going even slightly in the right direction?

Using TurboLinux 10, & KDE

PureBasic needs to be installed in /usr/share/purebasic/
are you read the INSTALL (or README) doc?

And you need install developer versions of GTK+ and SDL.

I used the install file and copy pasted the cp commands to put everything where I assume it's supposed to be, I noticed and pbcompiler and fasm went to /usr/bin and something else went to /usr/share. I'll check when I get home. I don't recall moving the libs though and that's what the error was complaining about.

If you copied commands from INSTALL file, all must be ok.

"purelibraries" directory is in "purebasic" directory. Check the names, must be low case.
