This is my first post to the Vala mailing list, so let me make a brief introduction. I've just started learning Vala. I've been a Java programmer and a Linux for several years.
I'm getting an error when I try to execute the first GTK programming example found on this page from the command prompt/terminal: https://live.gnome.org/Vala/GTKSample When I attempt to execute the program from the terminal I get multiple lines with these statements: invalid character literal syntax error, unexpected literal It is like the program is stuck on a loop or choking on each character in the strings in the example. The funny thing is, when I double click on the executable file in Nautilus, the program runs without any problems. Any ideas what might be going on? I'm running the latest stable version of Ubuntu and I have the GTK 3.0 libraries installed.
