can't find interface - on Ubunto

I just managed to install Ubuntu (totally Linux Newbie) and to install BlitzMax. I can rebuild all modules and the documentation. Most of the 2D samples delievered with Blitz work (incredibly slow, but they work - I think I need another grafccard-driver).

But when I try to run something with MaxGui with following line in it:

Import MaxGui.Drivers

then I get the error message

Compile Error
Can't find interface for module 'maxgui.drivers'

Any hints for me?

(And yes -> the maxgui.mod is in the directory BlitzMax/mod)

Chances are that something isn't in the correct place, or you haven't built those specific modules yet.

Like on Mac, case is important, so check things are of the correct case.

I would get you to try building from the command-line, but that depends if you know enough to find your way to the correct folder ;-)

from the BlitzMax/bin folder, you could type :

./bmk makemods -a maxgui

which should force a rebuild of the maxgui modules.

If it runs, but nothing appears to happen, then you've got something in the wrong place.

I have a little knowledge of a command line (hey - I'm old enough and I mastered CP/M and DOS 3.3 :) so i could find my way to the directory and typed what you said - and it seems to work - no error message, some hard disc activity - but nothing more; no message, just silence.

So i assume there is something in the wrong place as you mentioned - but what?

when you look in your maxgui.mod folder you should see the following folders :

cocoamaxgui.mod
fltkmaxgui.mod
win32maxgui.mod
drivers.mod
maxgui.mod
win32maxguiex.mod

well, I see them :-)

You are my Hero - may I call you Batman? ;-)

I must have unzipped the files in the wrong directory.

Thx - again!
