Hello:

I have done a Google search and not found a package for Ubuntu and installing from the Io home page (http://iolanguage.com/) and following the install instructions failed.

I am curious if anyone here has programmed in Io on Ubuntu... if you have is there a package? will it work on 64bit?

Thanks,

It should, but it failed on me. That is why I was asking for a package or advice from someone on getting it installed.

I just installed it successfully on Fedora 14, so it should be easily doable on Ubuntu. What steps did you take and what error did you get?

Was it 64bit or 32bit...

I think the issue may have been missing libraries that are 32bit.

I will endeavor to try the install again and post the errors tonight.

64 bit, but it seems like that shouldn't matter if you build it from source.

bump. Any conclusion? Same problem.

What is the actual problem you are having? Like I said, it installed for me with no trouble at all, though I removed it a while ago.

I'm trying to install it from source using the directions from the download package at http://iolanguage.com/.

The directions I used are:



nsure you are at the top level of the source tree, that is where this file lives. From here, you are in the right spot to enter these commands:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make install

If you do not wish to install, just run "make" instead of "make install". Currently there is no analogue to the old "make linkInstall". However, if you have used linkInstall in previous versions of Io, you should never have to run linkInstall again, since it created symbolic links to where your Io source was at that time. The only time you would have to do this again, is if you moved the Io source from one dir to another. Most people don't.




This is what I got (at the end). No compiler errors. However, it won't work or run the script.

I have not tried it but probably make install will install it in /usr/local
the library folder of that prefix is not searched by ld.so, the dynamic linker.
either add it to the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH or place it in the /etc/ld.so.conf (or less recommended configure with -DINSTALL_PREFIX=/usr)

have you filed a request for packaging in debian or ubuntu? maybe someone will provide a package on request.

Yes that is almost certainly the problem. It tells you in the README (https://github.com/stevedekorte/io/blob/master/README.txt) (line 34) that you need to run ldconfig with /usr/local/lib in your path.

That worked. Thank you. I'll file a package request.
