Seems you are hitting all the hard rocks. Please do the following install "gdb" through yast, if it isn't installed on your system already. Then in a terminal type gdb gnubg and in the gdb prompt run and after the crash in the gdb prompt bt We may need to install some debug libraries and comp

Hi Michael, Christian and all, thx for your outstanding support!!! I finally managed to make it through the make and make install, as far as I could see, without errors. When I start gnubg by typing "gnubg" in the terminal, I get the following message: "GNU Backgammon 0.90.0 Copyright (C)

We all have to learn Linux somehow. We were all Linux dummies at one time :) The last set of errors you sent is because of libxml missing: You will need: http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/opensuse/11.1/x86_64/libxml-1.8.17-480.51.x86_ 64.html Looking at config.log you likely need: http://rpmfin

I guess SUSE is still RPM based. After looking at rpmfind, if you are using x86_64 (Your first email indicated it) you will want to install this: http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/opensuse/updates/11.1/x86_64/python-devel-2.6. 0-2.22.1.x86_64.html This should at least get you passed the first set of

I'm not too familiar with suse, but it shouldn't be too difficult. I assume that you have the source already. In the top level directory is a file called INSTALL. Here the tools that you need are listed. Install them using the normal yast installation tool. Then you need the development libraries

Hi everyone, I know this is not a helpdesk for GNUBG or Linux, but perhaps someone can help me getting GNUBG run on my Open Suse 11.1 (x86_64) computer ("standard installation"). I am not that familiar with Linux, but wanna give it a try. But what's the use of having a computer if GNUBG is no
