Yes, I'm getting a bit tired of this thread. It's not quite OT, since it does have to do with building linux standalones, but apparently what I've been saying to you hasn't been getting through. I'll try one more time and that's all I'll have to say on this thread. <I tried running your linux standalone on Windows 3.1 and it wouldn't run. Could it be that some OS resources are missing?> I have no doubt that the two standalones you created ran fine on the Kubuntu live CD. I'm sure they would run fine on my installed system as well. If they didn't then there would be serious problems creating standalones for linux systems. I also have no doubt that I could boot a Ubuntu live CD and run your app without problems. The problem lies with that RB thing you created to return the folder locations, and in particular with the fact that it's relying on the GIMP toolkit libraries for some GUI presentations. Not knowing any more details about what you did there I can't comment further on it. But it WILL NOT RUN on any linux system that does not have the gtk installed. Gnome by definition uses these libraries. Kde does not. I seriously doubt that your folder app will run on your Kubuntu live CD. I notice it's not on the list of apps you tested. I could install the gtk (and I will as soon as I have a need to do some serious graphics on my Kubuntu box) and then the problem will be resolved. For my box, not for kde in general. Your RGB app should also run properly on any linux system that has the libraries installed. This is a development system for me, so I didn't install a bunch of bloat I didn't need. For right now, that includes GIMP. As I see it, there is no problem with creating a runrev standalone (or executable, or whatever you want to call it) that runs on any flavor of linux. The problem with your folder app is a problem with RealBasic relying on the presence of the GIMP libraries for its GUI. As long as it's clear that the app will only run on a kde box if the libraries are installed, then that shouldn't be an issue. If you're going to require certain libraries be present for your app to run, then you should either a) include them, b) list them as requirements, or c) test for their presence when your app starts up. -- -Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
