Hi Carol The error message
dpkg-query: package 'scid' is not installed presumably means that you compiled and installed scid for yourself. Is that right? If the package management system is not in control of the installation it may not have it added to the list of installed files. It seems that on Ubuntu systems Scid should install into /usr/games so that the list of files produced by $ dpkg -L scid ought to include /usr/games/pgnfix /usr/games/sc_eco /usr/games/sc_epgn /usr/games/sc_import /usr/games/sc_remote /usr/games/sc_spell /usr/games/scid /usr/games/scidpgn /usr/games/spf2spi /usr/games/spliteco /usr/games/tkscid Xubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) would install Scid 4.6.2 through apt or Software and 4.7.0 would have to be compiled separately on your own machine. I'm told the way to integrate in into your system is to use the program checkinstall https://wiki.debian.org/CheckInstall Hope this helps Maurice _______________________________________________ Scid-users mailing list Scid-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scid-users
