Beginnersquestion: Some listings don't start running

Hello,
I'm still exploring Purebasic.
In the beginnerguide I saw this little testlisting, but it does not run. It does nothing, also gives no error?
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Rudy M
Code: Select all
If OpenConsole()
PrintN("1. Official PureBasic Home")
PrintN("2. Official PureBasic Forums")
PrintN("3. PureArea.net")
PrintN("")
PrintN("Enter a number from 1 To 3 and press Return: ")
Destination.s = Input()
Select Destination
Case "1"
RunProgram("http://www.purebasic.com")
Case "2"
RunProgram("http://forums.purebasic.com")
Case "3"
RunProgram("http://www.purearea.net")
EndSelect
EndIf
End

He works with Linux as far as I can see in his other posts, there, if I remember correctly, it is a must to set the executable format to console (in compiler options) when tinkering with the console output.

Hi Rudy M,
Welcome to PureBasic.
When I had access to Linux (it's been a couple years), I needed the following to open a webpage using RunProgram:
Code: Select all
RunProgram("xdg-open", "http://www.purebasic.com", #Null$)
For OSX I used the following:
Code: Select all
RunProgram("open", "http://www.purebasic.com", #Null$)

Sorry for my late reaction.
@HeX0R: Yes, I work with Linux Mint
@JHPJHP: Thanks, I'm going to test your tip or hint.
I think its the combination of the new IDE (for me!) AND the difference with my former compilers.
Switching from Basic PDS and FreeBasic to PureBasic is not as simple as it may seem at first glance.
It'll be okay (with ups and downs)
