HOW-TO: Running breveIDE under Ubuntu Linux Software Versions: breveIDE 2.4 beta Ubuntu Linux 5.10 Document Version: 2006 January 28 __________________________________________________________________ 1. Add BREVE_CLASS_PATH to your environment variables: Add the following to the ~/.bashrc file (or to /etc/profile if you want to add it to everyone): export BREVE_CLASS_PATH=/path/to/my/breve_folder/lib/classes 2. breveIDE looks for "libtiff.so.3", so create a symbolic link to libtiff.so.4: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3 3. breveIDE also requires "libtermcap.so.2": Use the Synaptic Package Manager to download and install termcap-compat from the "Community maintained (universe)" repository: i. On the top Panel, go to the System menu > Administration submenu > Synaptic Package Manager menu item. ii. Under the Synaptic Package Manager menu bar, go to the Settings menu > Repositories menu item. Then in the "Software Preferences" window, click the "Add" button. Then, in the "Edit Repository..." window, choose "Ubuntu 5.10 'Breezy Badger'" from the Repository pop-up menu and make sure "Community maintained (universe)" is checked. Click the OK or Yes buttons until you get back to the Synaptic Package Manager window. iii. Search for "libtermcap", and then mark the package "termcap-compat" for installation. iv. Click the "Apply" button. 4. Run the "breveIDE" binary. Everything should work now! contact: bkrent@nmu.edu
