Debian Lenny - cannot start MaxIDE

Hi,

i've just installed Debian Lenny (amd64) and all the deb packages that are in this Ubuntu tutorial: http://www.blitzmax.com/Community/posts.php?topic=54592

If i want to start MaxIDE i get the following error:
./MaxIDE: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

what may be the problem?

Thanks

Have you installed the drivers for you graphics card ?

Have a look in /usr/lib/ to see if there is any file named
libX11.so.6 or libX11.so.6.x.x (x is a version number). If there is create a system link to the lib file in /usr/lib/

And see if you have the libX11-6 package installed for your distro.

You need to install libX11
and probably some others, do a search on this linux forum for libX11 and you'll find a list

Yep it should be fine. glxinfo tells me "direct rendering: yes"


I have already installed the libX11 package.

maybe the amd64 arch is the problem?

"maybe the amd64 arch is the problem?"

Are you using a 64bit distro?
Then have a look at this http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=72867
If you can then try a 32bit version of debian lenny.
I had a quick look at the debian site and I see that lenny is still in the testing stage.

Hey interesting Thread.
Thanks alot :)

i'll try Gentoo again (my favorite) :-)

i tried to install BlitzMax on ubuntu linux, but can not install. no error, no message, just nothing happen.

any body installed before? please guide me.

tin you didn't say if ubuntu was 64bit or 32bit. If you do a bit of digging on the linux discussion forum you will find most answers.
