[ALLY] Rebol/View and muLinux
[1/7] from: mdb:gci at: 6-Sep-2000 11:51
Hi all,
the latest experimental /View (libc5) won't run under the muLinux XWindows
addon.
Complains that "Sorry, this version of REBOL/VIEW requires at least 32
colors".
I'm assuming this is because it's using XFree86 V3.1 VGA16 4-bit color.
Does anyone know if there is a way around this problem???
Thanks.
Mike.

Mike,
Try setting the following in your user.r file:
system/view/screen-face/options: [monochrome]
At least this worked for earlier versions of View.

Thanks for the replies, Bo and Volker.
Unfortunatley, they didn't work (or at least i couldn't get them to???).
After i unzipped and did the tar on view041.tar, i got the following files:
feedback.r, nntp.r, rebol, and rebol.r
When i try to execute rebol, it's at this point that i get the error.
There is no user.r to edit yet?
I think i need to learn more about Linux.
Thanks again.
Mike.

Just create a user.r like:
REBOL []
system/view/screen-face/options: [monochrome]

the installation. "rebol +i" to install again. don't
know, if it works.

living without rebol?! no way!
in the file ~/.rebol on my system. do edit..
>>>
; This file is for REBOL configuration information. DO NOT EDIT
view-install-path %/home/volker/viewb5/
View 0.10.29.4.2
<<<
here rebol finds its user.r . if you make it by hand,
it will look there. then put Bo's stuff in a user.r,
and start view. hopefully it will run.
(needs not to be /home/volker/viewb5/ of course)

Yes, tried that. Still no go.
I'm wondering if the problem has to do with where i'm running rebol from?
I have a directory called View with all the files in. (including user.r).
If i make View the current directory and execute rebol, i get "Cannot
connect to the X server" message.
So i "startx" to start X Window, and then go into the muLinux console and
make View the current directory and execute rebol again, and then i get the
needs 32 color
message. Is this the problem?
Should i have it set up that rebol will start the X Window system
automatically ?
Sorry to be a nuisance.
Mike.
