How to install MPIDE

[kaloasd]

I have the necessary libs, I downloaded the IDE and unzipped it. I added the
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/jni
to the end of the file.
I followed the instructions here
http://www.chipkit.org/wiki/index.php?title=MPIDE_Installation
Now I have no idea what to do.

Can anyone tell me which file do I click to start it

Hi kaloasd,
I think there should be some executable/binary file in that directory. They can be executed by opening a terminal and then going to the folder.



cd /PATH/TO/FOLDER


Then execute it by saying


./FILE

Here, FILE should be replaced with that executable or bin file.
Make sure you have proper permissions to execute this file.

Thank you for replying.

I found a make.sh and after some fiddling managed to start something. It asks for a folder to put the sketches in and then gives me this

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at processing.app.Base.getTarget(Base.java:1624)
at processing.app.Base.getBoardPreferences(Base.java: 1662)
at processing.app.Base.<init>(Base.java:271)
at processing.app.Base.main(Base.java:183)

Hi,

are you using the 32 or 64 bit system?

[kaloasd]

64 bit but I have the necessary 32 bit libraries listed in the wiki

check that you have really followed the wiki:

sudo apt-get install librxtx-java
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch
sudo apt-get install libreadline6
sudo apt-get install libelfg0

[kaloasd]

Thank you for the replies

I have those libs. I tried installing them again and it said they were installed but I have "ia32-libs-multiarch:i386" I don't know if that's important

[kaloasd]

is there any chance that this would work in wine
