Hi!
The problem I have now is that I can extract the linux version of bmx. But when I double click the bmxide nothing happens????
What do I have to do in order to run it? Ubuntu 5.10., AMD64.

Try running bmxide from command line. It should give some kind of "reason" for not starting up.
By command line you mean terminal?
It does nothing. I extracted all dirs + files.
I also tried "apt-get install xxxxx.
Me=linux newb!

/home/grisu/BlitzMax118_Linux/BlitzMax/MaxIDE: error while loading shared libraries: libXxf86vm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Ahm, that lib package is currently installed??
I think I'll try a 32Bit installation... tommorrow... sigh...
Grisu,
I dunno if you are still trying to mend along with the 64 bit version or not, but that problem you are having is quite normal.
I wrote the Linspire 5.0 installation, but this trick works for all Debian based linux ditros (excuse the numbers, as I copied them straight from my installation guide):
6) Open a Konsole window
(Terminal Window, found in the Launch Menu -> Run Programs -> Utilities
-> Terminal Window (Konsole))
7) Type in the following (you can copy and paste it too)
su root [press enter]
(enter your root password, then press enter)
8) Enter the following and wait for the prompt after each enter press:
cd /usr/X11R6/lib [press enter]
ld --whole-archive -shared -o libXxf86vm.so libXxf86vm.a [press enter]
ln -s libXxf86vm.so libXxf86vm.so.1 [press enter]
ldconfig [press enter]
exit [press enter]
exit [press enter]
---
After doing this, it should find the library.
