| Hi! The problem I have now is that I can extract the linux version of bmx. But when I double click the bmxide nothing happens???? What do I have to do in order to run it? Ubuntu 5.10., AMD64. Grisu |

| Try running bmxide from command line. It should give some kind of "reason" for not starting up. |
| ||
| By command line you mean terminal? It does nothing. I extracted all dirs + files. I also tried "apt-get install xxxxx. Me=linux newb! edit:grisu@ubuntu:~$ /home/grisu/BlitzMax118_Linux/BlitzMax/MaxIDE /home/grisu/BlitzMax118_Linux/BlitzMax/MaxIDE: error while loading shared libraries: libXxf86vm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |

| Ahm, that lib package is currently installed?? |

| I think I'll try a 32Bit installation... tommorrow... sigh... |

| Grisu, I dunno if you are still trying to mend along with the 64 bit version or not, but that problem you are having is quite normal. I wrote the Linspire 5.0 installation, but this trick works for all Debian based linux ditros (excuse the numbers, as I copied them straight from my installation guide): 6) Open a Konsole window (Terminal Window, found in the Launch Menu -> Run Programs -> Utilities -> Terminal Window (Konsole)) 7) Type in the following (you can copy and paste it too) su root [press enter] (enter your root password, then press enter) 8) Enter the following and wait for the prompt after each enter press: cd /usr/X11R6/lib [press enter] ld --whole-archive -shared -o libXxf86vm.so libXxf86vm.a [press enter] ln -s libXxf86vm.so libXxf86vm.so.1 [press enter] ldconfig [press enter] exit [press enter] exit [press enter] --- After doing this, it should find the library. |
