Problem: Kylix 3 OE on knoppix

**akhmad_f** · 05-17-2003, 04:18 PM

Is there anyone having experience in running Kylix 3 OE on Knoppix? It's pretty weird. The installation is working fine, no problem *at all*. BUt it went wrong when i try to run it. "Invalid handle" error for several times and finally the IDE showed up but the paltte tab is empty. I really mean empty: no component at all, even the arrow pointer.
I think I need help.

This is more like a topic for 'general suport'.

Did you download and install the Kylix 3 updates?

i have the same problem when i launch the program as root.

As a normal user i must launch Kylix from the shell, for example

Code:

startbcb

for C++ and it's all ok

my workaround has been creating other user, and fire up that kylix 3 OE. And it works! Seems, the kylix has been having trouble with my home dir. Permission??
Kyix 3 update? Is there any for Open Edition version of Kylix? Uhmm I gotta check it out.

Kylix is a Linux version of Delphi, aka Visual Pascal, right? Is there anything similar in Linux for Visual BASIC?

TIA,

I have a problem with Kylix either.
When i start it with : startbcb it shows me this

root@Xzibit:~# startbcb
LC_ALL is set to C. Can't start Kylix.
root@Xzibit:~# /usr/local/kylix3/bin/transdlg: error while loading shared libraries: libXaw.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any idea solwing this?[/quote]

I have tried Gambas : gambas.sf.net
It is a Visual Basic interpreter for Linux. Good enough to include on my remaster.

I have a partial solutions that works for me both as user and as root.

Step #1. Create a new user.
Step #2. Open a console and type:
export LANG=en_US
Step #3. Run Kylix:
startdelphi
Step #4. It gets irratiting doing the same thing over and over so open your hidden .bashrc and add
LANG=en_US
You are done!

Solutions for root. I noticed that my component font is too big.
Step #1. Do the same as above, but not create a new user of course.
Step #2. Find your bash resource file and add
LANG=en_US
Step #3. Replace the .kderc from your home directory by overwriting it. Use .kderc from the user you just created. This fixes the font in the component.
Done.

LC refers to local problem. Read the Readme that came with kylix. The installer gets confused. We supposed to tell the installer that we should use US local.
If it cannot find one of the library, just make a symbolic link:
ln -s libraryname targetname

Hope this helps! This is my first post!
