Huh!!!! I googled for the error message and got no hits remotely like that (I tried the two sentences separately too). Can I ask what incantation you used? > 652 Combine that with > > LC_ALL=C strace -fe execve ./rp-app-bin > > and see if you can determine if an execve(2) is failing, i.e. returning > -1, and it giving up in response.

I ran that and got the result at: http://www.hadrian-way.co.uk/Misc/strace_output.txt[1] (I've put it in a file for clarity; it wraps in the message.) However, I can't make out from that what went wrong. The dialog box signalling the error pops up immediately after the Sonic Pi banner. There is a splash screen and then when this is dismissed, the error pops up. -- Terry Coles -------- [1] http://www.hadrian-way.co.uk/Misc/strace_output.txt -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2015-10-06 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:[email protected] / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR
