Usage of python on L*nux builds is a better experience (especially for initial development, so had hoped you were not using MS Windows. The MS Windows build (1.02.000) has a bug in it that renders part of the Python interface unusable. So I was going to recommend using the latest and greatest from cvs. On Debian/Ubuntu you should be able to build it from sources using information I had on the mailing list previously: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnubg/2011-06/msg00005.html In that archived mailing list post the CVS repository has been partially obscured. The CVS line should read: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/sources/gnubg co gnubg Let me know if you are able to build it. I am recommending using the latest and greatest as there have been a number of Python bug fixes over the years. Using the latest doesn't improve the documentation unfortunately. Once I have you at a reasonable starting point I'll be able to give you some basic advice in a follow up post. -- Michael Petch GNU Backgammon Maintainer / Developer OpenPGP FingerPrint=D81C 6A0D 987E 7DA5 3219 6715 466A 2ACE 5CAE 3304 _______________________________________________ Bug-gnubg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnubg
