How did you re-install the program with devel disabled? Isn't it all sitting in the devel repo?

I've installed in several times from devel but it still closes after about 5 to 10 seconds. I am guessing that some dependency isn't being met so it closes.

Is there a list of dependencies this program needs to work written anywhere?

I tried starting in xterminal and I'm getting errors like "liqbase-playground-cpu-performance: not found", error while loading shared libraries: liblo.so.0" and "/usr/bin/liqbase-playground-cpu-ondemand: not found".

sure it is...
I have it running^^
Windows 7 64 bit.
you just have to change the .dll's and do some other stuff

nice work, others will want to know how to do this

i meant in its current state its incompatible with w7 (and vista?)

This is the exact error I am getting.

I am guessing this is why running from the menu closes after 5 to 10 seconds.

Disable extras-devel, leave testing enabled.

Ahh ok, the one in Devel doesn't work but the one in Testing does.

Didn't think to look in testing at all

Ok now the N900 app works but not the Windows app. I have the 64 bit Vista and I downloaded new 64 bit dlls to the bin folder but it's not working yet.

Fascinating stuff. Unfortunately this isn't working on this Windows 7 RC1 machine, even with compatibility mode set to XP. The java app will run but in a blank screen. I edited the texture size in app.properties as suggested by the project's wiki but without look.

Running it from the command line I alt-tabbed out and saw that it had "got it" all over, as soon as I performed any action on the n900 onedotzero app, which means it's communicating alright. Indeed, upon alt-tabbing back into the program, I could see for a split second the text I had written on the screen.

I'm guessing it's a display issue with the java app.
