Re: [Jgeneral] jqt - failure to install libjqt.so on ubuntu 19.10
I don't know whether it has anything to do with this... I'm running Ubuntu and I'm trying to stay up-to-date with J versions and packages. Yet I ended up with an old jqt version (which crashed instead of reporting 'stack error' in case of a never-ending recursion). Finally I did 'install qtide' again in jconsole, but jqt wouldn't run before I manually installed several jibqt5... packages using apt. After that everything seems fine (and I'm seeing NuVoc when pressing F1). Does this ring any bells? Is it the expected behavior (of jqt and myself)?

Alex Thanks for the report. I haven't tried the deb install in a while and will take a look. In the meantime, the zips install should work fine.

Re: [Jgeneral] error with Graphviz and/or webview in j901 under Windows
The user issue should be unrelated to your earlier problems. The user folder can be anywhere you like. You just need to update bin/profile.ijs or see bin/profilex_template.ijs for an alternative that doesn't change the distributed profile.ijs script. This won't affect whether the qt library is slim or full.

Re: [Jgeneral] current use of lapack
I've found that if you take the old lapack folder (say from j807) and copy it to j901/addons/math/ alongside lapack2, it works just fine. I've not had the motivation to learn about lapack2, but I have calls to lapack in my old code.

[Jgeneral] jqt - failure to install libjqt.so on ubuntu 19.10
I'd like to try J and the IDE, but have run aground during installation. I hoped someone might be able to point me in the right direction. I'm on ubuntu 19.10. I followed the directions at https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/Installation/J901/Debian for the installation: -- download the .deb -- sudo dpkg -i j901_amd64.deb -- sudo ijconsole -- install 'qtide' After the above, I found the below exception: % jqt "libjqt.so.9.01" "could not resolve: state_run:\n\nCannot load library libjqt.so.9.01: (libjqt.so.9.01: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)" And sure enough, when I try to locate libjqt.so, I get nothing % locate libjqt % which jqt /usr/bin/jqt On https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Guides/Qt_IDE/Install, I found the following, and was hopeful their absence could be related (though I would have expected a different shared object to be missing). Ubuntu/Linux Mint Two issues have been reported: you may need to install the Qt webkit, websockets, multimedia libraries, as: sudo apt-get install qt5-default sudo apt-get install libqt5webkit5 sudo apt-get install libqt5websockets5 sudo apt-get install libqt5multimediawidgets5 There were, indeed, qt libraries to install. But the problem persisted after their installation. I ran another round of sudo ijconsole, trying the different installs, hoping something would get the missing object into place, but none of the below did. -- install 'all' -- install 'qtide' -- install 'full' There is a warning in the output that seems related. Does anyone know a fix for this, or options for more verbose output, or what might be triggering the failure to install? Example from install 'full' below: % sudo ijconsole install 'full' Updating server catalog... Installing 1 package Downloading base library... Installing base library... Done. Installing JQt binaries... install libjqt.so to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/. update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/bin/jqt-9.01 because link group jqt is broken Finished install of JQt binaries. Exit and restart J using jqt The "update-alternatives: warning: ..." is concerning, and the failure of "install libjqt.so to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/" makes me suspicious there is something the installer doesn't like. Any advice would be appreciated Thanks -- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
Re: [Jgeneral] error with Graphviz and/or webview in j901 under Windows
Hard to say, now, Raul - my general problem - with Graphviz and with Launchpad - seems to have somehow been of my own making. For years, I've resisted putting my user stuff into the Windows- and J-Installation-preferred Users/mike_/jxxx-user folder, and kept it in .../jxxx/user, parallel with addons and bin and so on. In yesterday's installation, where I downloaded the full zip file and copied up to j901, I rather inadvertently let it use Users/.../jxxx-user by default. Those problems mentioned above disappeared, but now I'm wrestling with a somewhat unfamiliar set-up, as my config and profile files got overwritten this time. I think I'd better live with these new problems, as my previous set-up had presumably been at fault, and interfered with install 'full' and other things.

Out of curiosity, did jconsole change in size because of the install? Or,
because of some other issue (such as malware)?
