I'm mostly worried about big endian machines
The triangle is a cellular automaton. This one is a good source of 
randomness according to Stephen Wolfram.
Thank you Endo, Maxim

Works the same for me on W7 64bit.

I need to save some stack space for my evaluation routine runs out 
of stack with the search-depth on 2 (I had expected this but than 
on depth 5 or so)

can unset help? Is there a method to keep track of the stack? To 
see how much you have and use up?

hi all
am trying to use Kaj's 0mq bindings on an aws micro instance.
i have rebol-core 2.7.8.4.3 installed
when i do %ZeroMQ-binding.r2, i get:

Script: "ZeroMQ Binding" (none)
** Script Error: Feature not available in this REBOL
** Where: context
** Near: binary: make struct! [value [binary!]] none
Any ideas?
this works fine on windows7 with rebol-view 2.7.8

REBOL/core does not include the ability to call shared libraries. 
REBOL/View does.

rats
trying rebol-view
now getting this:


./rebol: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory


any experience running rebol-view on aws? looks like some libs/headers 
are missing...
libX11 and libX11-devel are loaded on the instance...
linX11.so.6 is located in /usr/lib64, and i'm guessing that rebol 
is looking in usr/lib
loaded all i686 extensions to the 64bit instance
now get:

$ ./rebol -v
** User error: Bad face in screen pane!
** Near size text self
shouldn't ./rebol -v open the console on linux directly?
note: this is happening with MaxV's http://www.maxvessi.net/rebsite/Linux/
2.7.8 as well
just saw this:

trying a reboot
no luck with rebooting...

xfonts-100dpi and xfonts-75dpi installed (yum install xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi.noarch 
and xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi.noarch)
damn. >2 hrs and no luck
any ideas anyone?
read somewhere that Xvfb may need to be used - no luck yet... :(
ok - finally got it to launch the console

two more dependencies loaded:
1. xorg-x11-xvfb.x86_64
2. xorg-x11-xauth.x86_64

then:
$ xvfb-run ./rebol -vs

>>

works!

Sujoy, what distro are you using?
Sujoy

[1478]
Amazon Linux AMI 2012.09
MaxV

WOW, I didn't know of the existence of Amazon Linux. 

It has a very particular configuration for cloud and not for graphic, 
so you need Xvfb.

took a while to figure out, but i found your posts on altme

However if you have trouble with more "classic" distro, let me know, 
so I'll correct the installer packages. See also this:

With Kaj here I've got my own private school, but I still am curious, 
so taking a look here. Goodmorning.

Kaj - i've been trying to run the ZeroMQ bindings on an Amazon Linux 
AMI (took a while to get Rebol View running!)

I have installed and built zeromq from the source, but the result 
is a 64bit build, so rebol complains:

wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

would you happen to have a 32bit libzmq.so i can use?

Sujoy - Kaj is still asleep, I will tell him you asked this question 
as soon as he's awake.

Sujoy, you're in luck; last week I added most dependency libraries 
for Windows to my Red testing repository:
http://red.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test
They're in the MSDOS folder. The 0MQ library is a bit old, because 
newer available versions are a bit harder to unpack in Windows, but 
it's sufficient for my bindings

Hi Kaj
Am actually trying on an aws instance (amazon linux 2012.09)
would you have the .so files?
Kaj

Ah, as Natasja said, not very awake yet here. Sorry
I'm not planning to add Linux binaries, as they're very dependent 
on the Linux distribution

It would be best to force a 32 bit compile on your AMI. If that's 
problematic, best install some 32 bit distro and extract them from 
there
Sujoy

got it working just as you said. forced a 32bit compile of zeromq
works - i can now do %ZeroMQ-binding.r2 with no issues
more anon
works flawlessly so far kaj

An unhappy Ubuntu user (seems disoriented, not even knowing how to 
create a new ML thread):


https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/Rebol/iSgc1-dDZLs

I guess somebody can tell him what he needs to download.

Still no luck for him, more dependencies needed, I guess. Or maybe 
he really needs Core, not View?

Hello, all.


 Back in May I was here asking for lots of help in creating a simple 
 CGI script in REBOL. Wanted to say thanks. It was most appreciated, 
 especially considering how rarely you get new people my questions 
 must have seemed so simple to the point of boring the crap out of 
 all of you hardcore experts. My regular job has insane hours and 
 months pass by in what seems like minutes. The person I was doing 
 it for suddenly had other things come up on his website and business 
 that required attention first so it fell by the wayside. I intend 
 to pick it up where I left off this week during an evening when I 
 have more time. While I had a few minutes I had to send my thanks.


 And I see REBOL might become open source... good to see it  moving 
 forward instead of stagnating.
