Thanks Bill, Adding snap to profile.ijs did get rid of the popup error messages I was getting. I updated to gui/gtk 1.0.8.
The gui loads without error now but doesn't have any background color or syntax highlighting. On Linux that seems to be working fine. When I open a script in the Editor the following GTK errors now appear in the jconsole window: (jconsole.exe:4728): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_text_buffer_move_mark: assertion `GTK_IS_TEXT_MARK (mark)' failed (jconsole.exe:4728): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_text_view_scroll_to_mark: assertion `GTK_IS_TEXT_MARK (mark)' failed I tried loading the tut8.ijs demo, but it hung my J session - no error messages. > From: bill lam > Sent: Monday, 8 November 2010 04:36 > > Ric, > I've update addons gui/gtk to 1.0.8, please upgrade using pacman.
