I've finally had success installing and running BlitzMax on a non-Ubuntu system - namely CentOS 5, and is fairly simple :

In add/Remove programs, select the Development section, and from that, select 'Development Libraries', 'Legacy Software Development' and 'X Software Development'.

Apply and let the packages install.

Finally, open Terminal, and as root (unless the user is in the sudoers list), type in :

sudo link /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc-3.3
sudo link /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++-3.3

I wish I had found this post 3 hours ago!

The only question now is, do I need to reinstall my whole system to get out of the mess i've made before trying this!

(I had almost got it right on several ocassions).

I have no idea if you still loiter here MrTAToad, but if you do - thanks from another old timer :P

You shouldn't need to reinstall the system :)

Hope things are going well!

Shouldn't there be a dependency list for the installer ?

These instructions are not valid for CentOS 6.5

Any list of required library ?
