maybe I should try starting from console rather then by gui

Yeah, try that, see what happens.  Then the real head scratching 
can start.  :)

I guess you mean the REBOL console? It doesn't work in the Linux 
version
Indeed you have to start Core, or start View with the -v option from 
the Linux console/shell

Oh .. okay.
I wonder if that's an encap option.
Also, I have found that under wine, my encapped application fails 
to launch another copy of itself.

Are the function keys available under Linux?

Normally yes.  But there are X11 configurations to worry about; try 
(from the REBOL console  - being your shell term)

con: open/binary/no-wait [scheme: 'console]   wait con   ch: copy 
con
and see what gets placed in ch

Some keys are being trapped by Gnome ... F1, F11, F10
So, on Ubuntu with Gnome, I'm getting for F3 #{1B1B4F52}
Using Vid, I get for F1 onwards, console, listen, tcp, udp, icmp, 
dns, odbc, oracle, msql, crypt, compress ...
What's going on here??
F12 is grabbed by the window manager in puppylinux, but otherwise 
the others are the same.
I presume Rebol is somehow interpreting these sequences like this.
Ahh.. it's a bug with Rebol 2.7.5

Ok, I was just about to say ... how are you getting the schemes list. 
  That looks weird, but I was going to suggest it must be opening 
the system/schemes object somehow.  I would be confused.  Not that 
that would be weird. :)

Ashley documents the bug on his Rebgui pages.
Wonder why RT hasn't released a fix yet.

Busyness?  :)   Afaik; a new release bundle is in the works.

Hmm.
Well, I found an older Linux SDK so i guess I can work with that.
Nope, mine is too old.  Anyone got the latest functional Linux 'enface 
prior to 2.7.5  ?

I'm using call and call/wait to invoke gs to convert ps files to 
pdf.  Anyone know why the return code can be non zero on linux and 
yet it is still doing the conversion??

I remember something about that... I think it was a "rebolism".
Does the same command return non zero in the linux console only ?

CALL has a bug in Linux (and other Unix), it just returns a random 
number...
Graham
23-Feb-2008
[1988x4]
crap.
I never knew that.
It returns 0 if used from the rebol console .. but other numbers 
if used from an encapped app.
Gabriele .. are these bugs ( and the lack of scalable font support 
in draw ) being addressed in 2.7.6 ?

That's a serious bug

Anyone know what I need to do to get view running on Ubuntu 7.10 
?  libstdc++.so.5 is missing.  And sym linking to ibstdc++.so.6.0.9 
doesn't work.

View 2.7.5.4.2 worked for me out of the box on a freshly installed 
Ubuntu 7.10

Encapped app complained.  Anyway, this is an answer I found http://www.debugmode.com/userforums/viewtopic.php?t=6125

That answer look overly complicated to me. Why not just : sudo apt-get 
install libstdc++5 ?
Graham

[1997x2]
Dunno.  Will that work?  :)
True type fonts appear to be working for me in Ubuntu 7.04 ...
Ingo

Hmmm, I have libstdc++5 installed.
Dockimbel

Yes, it will download and correctly install libstdc++5.

Good to know.  I messaged my user to let him know of this easier 
method.

Carl knows about the call linux bug since quite some time... and 
I have provided him with what I think could fix it (but I have no 
way to test the fix). Qtask needs this bug fixed too, so one can 
say it's reasonably high priority. :)

2.7.6 then
AGG fonts only working under Debian distros still?

If one wishes to run a View encapped application on a server distro 
of ubuntu, is this all one has to do http://softinnov.org/cheyenne/blog.cgi?view=0014
?

Graham, any other required libs can be determined with ldd.

It looks like this ecvt bug is biting me again.  I got ODBC working 
under Wine, but when I insert a decimal value into a decimal field 
under ODBC, the value gets converted to what looks like a scientifc 
value without the exponent.
So, .01 gets stored as 1.000 as does 1000 !
