sudo apt-get install libx11-dev  ?

crashed and burned

the 'gets worked, the 'dpkgs all failed

use aptitude instead??

have you updated?

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

oops -- just noticed the questions were for linux users

You were doing pretty well if you aren't a Linux user :)

win32 forever!

well, until I get win64

A live boot cd is probably out of date ...

the live cd is missing stuff (in order to make it fit), it also is 
doing everything in memory (including the things you download and 
try to install), and afaik the "ram disk" is fixed size (so it may 
not be big enough to hold what you're trying to install).

you may be able to create your own live cd that does what you need 
but... i think that's more work than installing, or using a virtual 
machine.

Ubuntu Live CDs don't have all the repositories enabled, either

Hello everybody, I have a problem with Linux:  DRAW   choose a font 
that give problem displaying:

example: ['text "Hello word!"]
view layout [ box 100x100 effect [draw example ]]

on linux it gives a blank window.
I added:

example: ['text "Hello word!"]
if (pick system/version 4) = 4 [
	fnt1: make face/font [ 
		name: "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf"
		size: 12
		]
	os: "linux"
	]
if os = "linux" [ insert example reduce ['font fnt1]	]
view layout [ box 100x100 effect [draw example ]]

This solution is good, but using REBGUI  it doesn't work anymore.
What can I do?

Sorry, I I finded now the RebGUI group, I'll post there my question.

Hello MaxV, why don't use:
view layout/size [text "Hello word!"] 100x100
Work for me at Kubuntu

Not AGG

Dear ManuM, my problem is with graphic. I have to display a graph 
with lines, rectangules and texts, so I use DRAW. Have you ever used 
DRAW on Linux?

I want to do something like:  http://picasaweb.google.it/lh/photo/blmYoQ1StCsXdxBTcSg1Fg?feat=directlink
but it doesn't  work no linux... sigh!

Hello Max. Yes, I have used sometimes DRAW on Linux.

Try this, work for me at Kubuntu.

do %rebgui.r

if system/version/4 = 4 [ face/font/name: "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf" 
]

example: [ font face/font ]

on linux, you need the full path to the font you are trying to use. 
 ttf fonts are supported.

Is that comic repetition ?
:-)

I am assuming this is a linux thing. I am learning really basic stuff 
as a Rebol newbie. When I try running the expamle from http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-3.html

print read ftp://ftp.rebol.com/pub

I get the following error:

>> print read ftp://ftp.rebol.com/pub
** User Error: Server error: tcp 530 Login authentication failed
** Near: print read ftp://ftp.rebol.com/pub

I was expecting this to work. What am I doing wrong?

i'm pretty sure that rebol.com doesn't have ftp enabled

I guess it was once enabled, but has

since been closed, for security reason.

they were hit by a hacker who defaced their site ...

I think they came in via ftp

try this 

 print read ftp://ftp.compkarori.com/

or, you can do this

>> trace/net on
>> print read ftp://ftp.rebol.com/
URL Parse: none none ftp.rebol.com none none none
Net-log: ["Opening" "tcp" "for" "FTP"]

Hmm.. I thought Carl disabled ftp .. .but it's still actives

It does say "no anonymous login" though.

I  used Manum example, but I get:
** Script Error: Cannot use path on none! value

** Near: face/font/name: "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf"

Do you have a file FreeSans.ttf at that location?
Look for it with linux shell command:
	locate FreeSans.ttf

I'm not using View for a very long time, but I guess you must first 
make the font object!

MaxV has released a Debian package ... http://synapse-ehr.com/forums/showthread.php?130-Ubuntu-Debian-package&p=764#post764

Anyone running Debian who can test it?

Works fine.

And it is View ?

Nope. Core 2.7.7.

I have been playing with this for hours and have not made any progress 
after reading everything I could find about ports and ftp. Why does 
the following script not work?

    ftp-port: open [
        scheme: 'ftp 
        host: "ftp.mysite.org" 
        port-id: 21 
        user: "[user-:-mysite-:-org]" 
        pass: "xxxxxxxxxx"
    ] 
    write ftp-port "Test File" 
    close ftp-port

It gives the following error.


** Script Error: write expected destination argument of type: file 
url object block
** Where: func [face value]

You haven't specified a file to write to

you can try to use this: http://rebol.wik.is/Rebol3/Schemes/Ftp

Also as you can see, READ and WRITE does not support PORT! as an 
argument... at least not in R2

uh... sorry, now I see the link is for R3

Just dont' use the OPEN in the first line! And it will be working.

ftp-port: [scheme: 'ftp  host: "ftp.mysite.org"  user: "[user-:-mysite-:-org]" 
 pass: "xxxxxxxxxx"]
read ftp-port

Thanks Oldes, I'll give that a try.

ftp-port: [scheme: 'ftp  host: "ftp.mysite.org"  user: "[user-:-mysite-:-org]" 
 pass: "xxxxxxxxxx" target: %test.txt]
write ftp-port "hello"

Maybe there is some better way.. I don't remember it as I'm not using 
such a script.
