zed@zed-pc:~$ echo $BASH_VERSION 4.4.12(1)-release zed@zed-pc:~$ and then zed@zed-pc:~$ cd /home/zed/rpcemu-0.8.15/src CFLAGS=-no-pie ./configure --enable-dynarec bash: cd: too many arguments zed@zed-pc:~$ So, again, I'mlost! > > I then tried without the configuration options (i.e. just the > > CFLAGS=-no-pie) > > That would just set a variable in your shell.

I did that and got the bash: cd: too many arguments yet again I then deleted the copy of rpcemu-0.8.15 and made another from my Downloads Directory to /home/zed Decided to try David's option zed@zed-pc:~$ cd /home/zed/Desktop/rpcemu-0.8.15/src zed@zed-pc:~/Desktop/rpcemu-0.8.15/src$ ./configure CFLAGS=-no-pie --enable-dynarec zed@zed-pc:~/Desktop/rpcemu-0.8.15/src$ cd .. zed@zed-pc:~/Desktop/rpcemu-0.8.15$ ./rpcemu zed@zed-pc:~/Desktop/rpcemu-0.8.15$ and I have a working rpcemu. Thank you Roy, for putting up with my "fumblings" and David for suggesting I enter the source directory and enter ./configure before the CFLAGS option which worked. Obviously the originasl suggestion on the Maratun website must work for others but just did not on Sparky Linux on my computer, for some reason. Whatever, I am grateful to both of you for leading me to a successful conclusion. The most pressing question, at present, is: Is there any way to run rpcemu other than through the terminal? There will be many other questions from me in my attempt to re-learn RISC OS (like how to enlarge the window which opens. How to change the screen resolution, etc. etc but for the present, I'm like a "dog with two tails - both wagging furiously"! David -- zed Bigamy: Too many wives. Monogamy: Same thing. _______________________________________________ Rpcemu mailing list [email protected] http://www.riscos.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rpcemu
