thats bad as the best way is to paste the libname in google. tthen 
usually you can link another lib-version to the missing one, or install 
some compatibility-package. which linux?

the .so.6, .so.7 are important.

yes, it was something .so.6

I've got Suse or Ubuntu

libXaw.so.6 IIRC? ldd altme-dir/altme

/usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6 on suse9.0 . something like 
ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.7
if that library is there.

Or search for the namein the package-manager or web. on debian i 
did that, it tried to be smart and removed my link. some compat-package 
worked.

yes, it's probably libXaw.so.6

I'm going to try that. Fortunately this group is web public ;)

rebolek, on ubuntu you just need to search for libxaw on the package 
manager :)

Ha, it works! :)

Gabriele: I remember that on Ubuntu package manager says that libXaw.so.6 
is already installed.

I'm now on windows
?? You hurried to run home? :)

IIRC Ubuntu had some other problem too, with a missing printsomething. 
Somebody said upgrading helped.

Volker :) No I just hurried to reboot :) Running AltME on SUSE 10.0 
without problem.

:))

Hm, tried running my demo from competition on Linux REBOL - no fonts, 
feels 2-3x slower than on Win and crashed.

How does it run on wine?

I don't know, I'm linux newbie, I have to install Wine :)

There is a package-manager! :)

I have been having this problem on Ubuntu too. Altme runs fine on 
wine.

Sadly sometimes better. must be because Carl is a winemaker.. :)

i found out i had installed both libXaw.so.6 and libXaw.so.7. I was 
getting this error:  symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libXaw.so.6: undefined 
symbol: xawPrintShellWidgetClass

Yes, AFAIK that was somehow deprecated. found a bug-report from another 
app somewhere.

But Kaj or someone said with a newer ubuntu that was gone. dont know 
all this ubuntu-names.

your tip above led me to the solution. i uninstalled libXaw.so.6 
like thus: apt-get remove libXaw6, then i created the following link: 
ln -s /usr/lib/libXaw.so.7 /usr/lib/libXaw.so.6 and it worked perfectly

hope that helps Rebolek

Good. But on my system (debian) something sometimes removed that 
link and i had to do it again. which is why i used the package.method. 
it somehow detected the link-name did not match the library-version.

very possible, i install and uninstall stuff all the time so there 
is no telling what package takes the link out

seemed to be some system-cleanup/check on boot or something.

Rebolek: try mandriva as I have it installed and works fine

Thanks to everybody. I've installed SimplyMEPIS 3.4.3, symlinked 
libXaw.so.6 and it works fine. As result, I hope, I'll be booting 
Windows less and less frequently :)

It looks to me like new people who join this world are not automatically 
made members of private groups. In fact, they probably won't even 
know what private groups exist,

But, equally, the members of private groups have no easy way of telling 
who the recent world members are, so it is often hard to review them 
for potential membership.
Is there a way to resolve that?

Feature is on the list (annoys me too).

I have invited everyone else.

What steps are required to move an AltME world from one host to another?

It has been a couple of years but I think I just tarred the whole 
directory tree moved it to a new machine

untarred it , ... made sure the need ports were available on the 
new machine ...

that is the one (non economic) feature for safeworlds hosting the 
world server

clients will not need to know you moved at  all

I just got a console message saying "Show on face in closed window". 
When I closed the console window, AltME quit. The only window I remember 
having open during that session was the alert window.

Why is ALTME not messing up my screen when I manualy resize the screen? 
Where when a simple 'resize in /view Does!??? What does ALTME do 
differently? Is it a more dircet /view access ???

The screen refresh of ALTME is much faster then normal rebol /view 
routines... how come so??

describe "faster"... because I don't think it's any faster than any 
of the stuff I do myself

but if you use SHOW wrong, it can get very slow

Well i mean that when i start ALTME in i.e. 500x500 and then resize 
with mouse I dont see any screen stripes while resizing, but when 
I do this with a simple window under rebol I do see lots of screen-stripes 
during resize untill I loosen my finger from the mouse button...

Its not so important but i thought perhpas altme is using less /view 
overhead somehow..

AltME probably ignores resize events until its ready to redraw

Yes that must be because the background color stays nicely white...Mmmmm 
I need to fingure that out too ;-)

Mmm... good question, Rebolinth.
