Run mmcc or mmedit in a terminal to see the error message. |
||||||
Jim,"From a command prompt run ./getrequired.sh" did amd updated/upgraded.doesn't execute. has it been tested on rpi 4/ 400? |
||||||
Compiled and tested on RPi5 bookworm. Test RPi5 trixie I don't own a RPi400 You could try as dddns suggested and post the results but I am not going to try too hard with this one. |
||||||
Jim, fair enough. rpi 400 not end of the world. I'm liking linux mint and mmbasic. it's like using the win version which I liked using. what is your favourite OS? |
||||||
^^^ This John |
||||||
Stan doesn't seem interested in using the command line. That's his choice. I will wait until someone else want's to run MMEdit on their system. Jim |
||||||
Yeah :( but I figured he could just try it and report back to help others (including you). No worries. John |
||||||
John, If I double click mmcc or mmedit on rpi 400 It opens a window with execute, execute in terminal, open, exit. Double click execute or execute in terminal and the window disappears and nothing happens, no error messages just the desktop. mmedit and mmcc properties says they're executable files. stan |
||||||
Yes, so don't do that. Open a command line window. Run mmedit or mmcc by typing their name (obeying case, as Linux is case-sensitive) followed by the Enter key. If you get something like command not found, type in the full path (of where you put them) and then the name such as /home/stan/mmedit/mmedit5/MMEdit If you get the path right you won't get command not found but instead hopefully a useful message. Either way, the window will stay open so you can read any messages (or try again if you type wrongly). If you find it easier you can change directory (folder) such as cd /home/stan/mmedit/mmedit5 and then just type ./MMEdit (note the dot slash means look here to the shell) John |
||||||
John, thanks. I got error message error while loading shared libraries:libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37 cannot open shared object file no such file or directory |
||||||
Brilliant! That's what it wants. You can go into the system's installer (or use the command line) and add it. You can trim the name a bit, down to something like webkit2gtk (I expect) Jim might have suggestions, too. It doesn't matter if you install something with a name like the above and it turns out still not right - just a bit of disk space will have gone and you could remove it again if you wanted. A web search might well tell you the right name to use if I've guessed wrong. John |
||||||
Maybe apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 |
||||||
You can try sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.0 |
||||||
Thanks for the replies. used sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.0 and the full name of missing file, lots of scrolling text then press y then more scrollingtext so it joaded? no error message, then rebooted and tried in terminal to launch mmedit and same error message as before. sorry to seem a pain. can't see anything wrong installing. stan Edited 2026-02-28 07:07 by stanleyella |
||||||
Assuming you didn't get any error messages with sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.0 ? I am not sure which version of RPI OS you are running. Bookworm or Trixie? |
||||||
no errors sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.0 This is Trixie, upgraded and updated. |
||||||
Try running from a command line again. Fingers crossed for you! John |
||||||
If you do run it again, somewhere in the response should be: libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 is already the newest version (2.50.1-1~deb12u1). |
||||||
Really sure? For trixie I see libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 |
||||||
I agree trixie should be 4.1 and I understand that 4.0 has been removed from the repository but: MMEdit needs libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 not 4.1 Jim |
