| All -- Please bear with me . I am fairly new to Linux but was able to gunzip and untar the Linux 1.09 download ok but when I chdir to the Blixmax109 folder and try to execute BlitzMax I see the IDE but there is an error dialog box that pops up saying unable to locate required files please reinstall BMAX to repair problem. Any ideas ? thanks |
| ||
| I got past the dialog error and now I can load a program into IDE without a problem . I get a display for the IDE fine but when I compile/run the program I do not see the graphic output window ,it looks like program compiled fine and is processing but dont see an output window. ?? Thanks |
| ||
| I think I need to tell it set my DISPLAY to my user name like DISPLAY name:o somewhere ?? Like I said a bit clueless so any help would be appreciated. |

| this might be better put in the linux discussion forum. a few questions. what version of linux are you running? Do other GL apps run (i.e. glgears)? |

| Ah, it looks like your Murphy transposer has transmogrified the internal cohesion extension. Either that, or I have no idea whatsoever... Russell |

| Do you have the developer tools such as GCC, OpenGL headers, etc installed? If not, take a look at this thread (I listed what I had to add in my post near the bottom)... |

| Thanks for your help... Checking the installs fixed the problem |
