PureBasic Forums - English

Hello,

I have just installed Ubuntu Linux 6.10, previous version i had installed was version 6.06. This is really a great improvement! Ubuntu 6.06 was somewhat slow with refreshing the contents of windows , but now everything works with the same speed as winXP! And Purebasic 4.0 for Linux is also a great improvement!

In Ubuntu 6.06 In there I could startup Purebasic by running the following file:

purebasic.sh wrote:#!/bin/bash
export PUREBASIC_HOME=~/Programs/purebasic
export PATH=$PUREBASIC_HOME/compilers:$PATH
~/Programs/purebasic/compilers/purebasic

If I run this file now, I see the purebasic IDE opening and directly again closing itself! When I go to Programs/purebasic/compilers and double-click on "purebasic", the same happens: the IDE starts and closes.

how to solve this problem?

Jos

thanks, I have already seen that post but it seems not to adress my problem (I dont get errors, pb just starts and stops again)

I'm an absolute greenhorn with linux

should I search for xorg.conf and add these lines? (that was the solution for oryaaaaa)

You can edit xorg conf using the Console issuing
"sudo gedit /etc/X11R6/xorg.conf"

I think adding the lines you mentioned will help

Straight quotes.

Someone, please make an easy PureBasic setup program.

I verified it by thinking about the trouble that we did not assume.

There was a bug in multilingual localize.

Firefox display is " double coutation, and copy did convert other " .
Its GNOME Text Editor is nomal.
but, console terminal is Character damage.

It has been converted into a different character-code.

Please the Copy&Paste doing and input the hand.

Yeah that would be great

Setup?
No, setups aren't a solution.

What we need are packages. RPM and DEB, at least.

Yeah I guess that's what it's called hehehe.
Anyways, so that when you install PB, all needed libraries are also installed. So basically, for Linux newbies like myself, it would be a matter of installing and running PB

Autopackage.
http://autopackage.org/

Could be a solution.

That's definitely no good solution.
Autopackage just pollutes a clear Linux installation.

thanks for your replies. I have added the code to xorg.conf (located in /etc/X11/xorg.conf) but no change...

When I double click on purebasic in purebasic/compilers, and choose "Run in terminal", the same happens but in the terminial I see a lot of error messages coming along in the fraction of a second that I get the chance to see it, maybe it is a same problem as oryaaaaa had.

strange thing is that I see the loaded IDE for a moment but it directly closes.

Trond, no need to shout - I'm not deaf.


Indeed a click-and-run package for the linux version of Purebasic would be very nice, at least for linux-novices like me

I downloaded the ISO for v6.10 and I must agree it's WAY faster. It's a very
nice looking OS too... it's just a shame that 99% of my apps need Windows to
run, otherwise I'd switch to Linux in a heartbeat. Billy has me trapped.

PB, have you installed Wine? makes a lot of windows applications work in linux. I have even installed Microsoft Office 2000 once on Ubunu linux and it did run rather nice...
