Many thanks for all the above. I have now got Ubuntu 17.10 going under VirtualBox on my Mac. The only serious problem was choosing the right networking option on VirtualBox: it needed to be Bridged Adaptor. After several re-readings of "How to compile from source - Linux" at <https://www.marutan.net/rpcemu/testing/linuxcompile.html> I have managed to compile rpcemu. (Incredible, at various stages I thought I would never get that far!) The final stage is to download a ROM and put it in the directory <rpcemu-0.8.102> but that will take me a little more time so thought I had better stop and say many thanks for helping me get this far. I'm going for 5.22 so that I have a backup machine for my ARMX6. If all goes well, I will be able to abandon VRPC which is taking up an enormous amount of precious space on my SSD on the Mac; rpc-emu's environment is on a USB linked disk that is four times slower than the SSD but faster than any other disc I have plugged into the Mac. regards, Tim -- Tim Powys-Lybbe t...@powys.org for a miscellany of bygones: http://powys.org/ _______________________________________________ Rpcemu mailing list Rpcemu@riscos.info http://www.riscos.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rpcemu
