Beginners problem : Gambas compiled package installation

[Mike Brett]

I've installed Gambas 2.5.0 on Fedora 8 from the rpms on the LDRWEB
site.  All seems to have gone well, apart from the fact that none of the
examples will open, despite the fact that the files are in the
appropriate folders. I just get "This project does not exist" messages.
(The installation placed the examples in /usr/share/gambas2/examples)

Indeed if I 'Open Project' and navigate to the various examples folders,
they won't open from there either. I can highlight a .gambas file and
click OK and nothing happens.

 From a brief experiment, the installation seems to create new projects
just fine.

What corrective action should I take please?  Thanks.

I had a similar problem from within Ubuntu. I just ran gambas as the
superuser to get the examples working.

And yeah, I know that's probably not the ideal solution.

Best of luck.

Maybe you just need to change the access rights. By default, the files
in this folder are only accessible to root. The access rights should
be set at least to "r--r--r--" (readable to all), or chmod 555.
If you want to edit the example projects, you probably need to move
them into your home folder and give them read- and write-access
(chmod 666).
You can also leave them in the default location and use the "save as"
option in Gambas in order to make a copy which you can work on.

Once again, I think it is not a good idea to change the rights of the example
(directories). It's better to copy the example in your home directory and use
the copy.
So the examples stay unchanged and a different user (or if the copy has been
destroyed by coding)  has a still working version of the example.

Keep in mind, you are in a multiuser environment!

Bye
Rolf
