Problem with Linux install

All -- Please bear with me .

I am fairly new to Linux but was able to gunzip and untar
the Linux 1.09 download ok but when I chdir to the Blixmax109 folder and try to execute BlitzMax I see the
IDE but there is an error dialog box that pops up saying
unable to locate required files please reinstall BMAX
to repair problem.

Any ideas ?

thanks

I got past the dialog error and now I can load a program into IDE without a problem . I get a display for the IDE fine but when I compile/run the program I do not see the graphic output window ,it looks like program compiled fine and is processing but dont see an output window. ??

Thanks

I think I need to tell it set my DISPLAY to my user name
like DISPLAY name:o somewhere ??

Like I said a bit clueless so any help would be appreciated.

Here is output from compilation
Building breakout
Compiling:breakout.bmx
flat assembler version 1.52
5 passes, 12906 bytes
Linking:breakout
Executing:breakout
xlib: extension "XFree86-VideomodeExtension" missing on display "rod:2:0"

Process complete

this might be better put in the linux discussion forum.

a few questions.
what version of linux are you running?
Do other GL apps run (i.e. glgears)?

Ah, it looks like your Murphy transposer has transmogrified the internal cohesion extension. Either that, or I have no idea whatsoever...

Do you have the developer tools such as GCC, OpenGL headers, etc installed? If not, take a look at this thread (I listed what I had to add in my post near the bottom)...

Thanks for your help...

Checking the installs fixed the problem
