Hello,
The final 3.91 version for linux has been released. It addresses a number of fixes and update the compiler to the last Windows changes. Please read the TODO list to see what is in progress or unsupported on Linux. More and more programs are now done using the Linux compiler which means than the product is more and more usable, so thank you to all of you which uses it !
It's available on your personnal account.
Enjoy,
Fred.

To those who allready spotted the previously uploaded 3.91 linux archive,
please download again, as there have been some more last minute bugfixes.

Please can you put the Midas "Module", the SDL 1.2 and GTK+ 1.2 in the package, because I'm having heavy problems installing GTK+ 1.2. I'm not able to download the binaries and the sourcecode isn't compiled correctly (PBCompiler says glibc.so.6 Version 2.3 can't be found)
You need to download the Libs anyways!

I can't put the GTK/SDL-devel package in the PB archive, it's non-sens as every distribution will need a different setup. About the MIDAS library, the license forbid to include it in a commercial package, that's why it's proposed free of charge as a third download.

Chris, just an idea as I have not had chance to try this version, try installing the "compat" libs. Sorry you'll have to google because I don't have a link at the mo.

Great job Fred and team! Now PB works on my Mandrake 9.2 workstation. I was booting RedHat on a virtual PC from my Windows box before but that was a pain. Thanks again.

Downloaded version 3.91 two days before your post..
New download today, and now I get:
gtk_text_new_() is not a function (or not available in demo version)..
when I try to compile a little test program..!?!
The
gtk_text_new_() being the problem
Works with the first download....
What's next Fred?

This is fantastic Fred!

So now that 3.91 for Windows and Linux are out, what's up next?
3.91 for OS X? 4.0? 3.92 for all platforms?
Thanks!

You're right, I made a mistake while uploading the last release. It should be correct now, so please download it once more. Sorry for the hassle..

I tested it , but it isn't working here because it needs glibc2.3 and i only have 2.2, does anyone know how to update glibc?
