Ahh, yes. That fixed it. Thanks. The computer is a bit old, but I naively figured that anything with a 64-bit AMD processor would have those AVX instructions. > you can run ijconsole as normal user, sudo only needed for > running pacman or install jqt. Indeed. I was just following the instructions for finishing the installation by installing the addons. At first, I was disappointed by the fact that I could not figure out how to run the qt IDE I got in Windows. I finally discovered that there are more instructions on that and, in particular, with respect to Linux Mint. I still find it strange that the installation did not put a launcher for jqt on the menu. (I have managed that now.) Running the interpreter in a plain terminal window is pretty lame compared to the IDE console and editor. Since no launcher for it appears automatically, some people may get the wrong impression. (I knew I was missing something because I had started in Windows.) The following is not really important to me, but I am curious. I have a Raspberry Pi, and I had decided to try J on it before I got your guidance for my x86 computer. Here's what happened: Running: Release 16.04.6 LTS (Xenial Xerus) 32-bit Kernel Linux 4.14.78-v7+ armv7l MATE 1.12.1 Result: david@RPi:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i j807_amd64.deb [sudo] password for david: dpkg: error processing archive j807_amd64.deb (--install): cannot access archive: No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing: j807_amd64.deb david@RPi:~/Downloads$ ls carina.jpg firefox_52.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1_armhf.deb j807_arm64.deb david@RPi:~/Downloads$ Speculation: There is a prerequisite of which I am unaware. Or it's only good for Raspbian. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
