OK, I've done all that on debian jessie and it looks good. My problem was having old config files in the ~/.scid directory. ... but, now when I create an opening report I get: can't read "::progressCanvas(init)": no such element in array just after '4.2 Moves from the report position' also I notice there is no 'pgnscid' utility, has that been removed, I found it handy. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Scid-users mailing list Scid-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scid-users
