World: r3wp

tried mplayer and all I got was the vid/no sound-yet it does play 
a mp3 ?

do you have all the plugins? it uses some codecs from windows. compiled 
mine myself, based on some tutorial. maybe distros has not everything 
due to ip?

will check,thanks ! still a newbie in the Linux world-have a Linux 
user group meeting tonite :)

i have a /usr/lib/win32 full of such codes. and there where one or 
two other dirs mentioned too. IIRC xine suggested to download the 
mplayer-codes too, althought i installed from distro.

mplayer should not need the win codecs for mp4.

maybe your mandrake is just a bit old.

try to download mpeg4ip, it is a mp4-only player/encoder. that should 
in theory work...

have 10.1 not the very newest but $ is tight right now

(IMHO you should donwload Ubuntu, it will keep itself updated and 
it is easy to use - though gnome based)

also i can not get View 1.3.? to install it does not make a ./rebol 
dir ?

problem with most Linux distro is that I have a dual cpu and most 
don't support dual cpus :(

on XP right now other wise I could check as I write

google "mplayer mp4 mandrake"

The solution (hopefully): install something more: http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20050925.165309.a1ed86e6.en.html

your problem: http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20050924.022642.ef5dfed6.en.html

about dual cpu: i guess thats wrong. usually distros have multiple 
kernels and you need one with smp in the name. should be as simple 
as telling the package-manager what you want. (in theorie, never 
tested smp, but on debian changed kernel for other reasons that way.

ubuntu sounds good. there is a kubuntu or something beased on kde. 
also, dont know about ubuntu, but on debian if i would install a 
kde-program without having kde, it would suggest a lot packeages, 
and 100mb later i would have everything including desktop i guess.

it's about the same for ubuntu, except they usually use the latest 
packages. I had gnome 2.12 the day before it came out officially.

so with ubuntu what do I do about the missing lib to run altme

tomc: I have the same problem, btw.

install something ;)

there is also a trick with linking new library to old library, but 
i forgot the details.

http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages, at the bottom you can enter 
a filename and usually get its package. most libs have compat-somethings. 
i guess the packages on ubuntu are similar, and that they have a 
similar page. (my link shows in german here, i guess thats some smartness. 
you should see something in your language).

my debian-altme runs some month know, so i forgot what i did exactly, 
sorry.

I have not spent 3 seconds looking into it yet. just hoping to spend 
my time some other way :)

this used to be something with libxaw6, but I have it installed...

what does altme say if you run it from the commandline?

hmm, is altme 1.0.2 current or did i miss an update?

symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libXaw.so.6: undefined symbol: xawPrintShellWidgetClass

I am not where that machine is so cant really help

the interesting thing is usually the .so.6, which is the version-number. 
you can install multiple versions of libs, and altme wants an old 
one.

hmm, but undefined symbol is something different. hu?

thats a coincidence I want a new altme

maybe ubuntu does something a bit different? dont know. i am only 
expert in installign packages..

and expert in pasting error messages in google.

till now i know you have a bug.

and they play the ball to  altmes/sdk . http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bugs/2005-July/069415.html
*sigh*

You have to install the package libxaw6

kaj, that seems to work on debian, but not ubuntu

That's strange

I'm on Ubuntu Hoary here, which is basically Debian, and I'm running 
View and AltME

I have libxaw6, libxaw7 and libxaw8 installed, which are standard 
Ubuntu packages. libxaw7 is the standard XFree86 library, libxaw6 
is the older X11 library, and libxaw8 is a new version of libxaw7

libxaw7 is currently default on most Linux systems. For older REBOL 
versions like AltME you have to install libxaw7. The new View 1.3, 
however, is already linked to libxaw7, which makes this a lot easier

In the same way, the new View needs a relatively new libstdc++ standard 
C++ library (part of GCC). On older Linux systems you may have to 
install this, but on most systems it's already standard, so this 
should usually not be a problem

Henrik, did you install all the dependencies of libxaw6? That error 
message looks like libxaw6 is installed, but that if can't find something 
that it needs

See my links. Henrik has the lib, but a symbol is missing. Another 
app had same error-message, they say "deprecated, tell vendor".  
But they say also libxaw8 (unsupported) has it. You have it, maybe 
Henrik needs it to, even if altme says 6?

kaj, I'm using Breezy which could be the problem. I remember that 
I could run AltME just fine on Hoary

Man, I hope I'm not going to loose REBOL with Breezy next week...

I don't like the trick, but some people made it work by symlinking 
libxaw6 to libxaw7, without installing libxaw6. If what Volker says 
is right, it may work if you symlink it to libxaw8

out of curiosity, what does AltME need libxaw6 for when REBOL/View 
runs fine on its own?

older View used it for the security requesters. not sure if this 
is still the case with 1.3 or not.

just install Mandriva 2006 and then Rebol/Altme. Altme is acting 
different than the old Mandrake 10.1 install. It's showing all the 
messages in the All Groups-not the Rebol group etc ?

1.3 is linked to libxaw7. Older Views needed libxaw6 just like AltME
