Hi,

so finally i managed to swap to Linux (OpenSuse 11.1) but I cannot figure out how to run blitzmax. I get the error:


Unable to determine BlitzMax Version
Please reinstall BlitzMax to repair this problem



How shall I reinstall a zip different than unpacking it? I extracted everything to "/home/Username/bin/"

When starting via the console I get:


MaxIDE could not finde the BlitzMax compiler (bin/bcc).
Please reinstall BlitzMax and try again.



But the bcc is where it should be. I also searched in this forum, but didn't find a solution.
I am using BMax 1.30, or at least I am trying.


greetings

What path have you extracted BlitzMax to?

Also, what version of MaxIDE are you using?

I also tried the one in the mentioned thread: same thing.

Maybe it doesn't like being in user/bin, try home/user instead.

Check your symlinks for gcc and g++.

You may be missing a few packages, I don't know what they are in suse but there's a full list here which should help.

I have the same problem and don't know how to fix it. Any ideas please? It's been a long time since I used linux. I've put the linux blitzmax into my home/bin foler, installed all the requested packages, and all I get is a message: Unable to determine blitzmax version, please reinstall blitzmax. I'm completelly lost here.

Ok, I managed to solve it by installing the libcstd package in its version 5.
Now I need to install MinGW 3.3 ... wich is a bit dangerous...
