Gnome-Inform 7 on Ubuntu 9.04
I don't know whether it is a bug in Ubuntu or not, but the current version of Gnome Inform 7 will not run on Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty jackalope). There'll probably be a new version soon, but in the meantime, just type this in a command shell:
cd /usr/libThat will make a symbolic link to the new libossp-uuid library, which Gnome Inform can then call. Seems to work fine.
sudo ln -s libossp-uuid.so.16 libossp-uuid.so.15

Thanks Victor! That did the trick.
I'm finding it's running super-slow compared to the last version on Ibex. You?
If you're wanting to use 5Z71, just use the deb package for Debian Sid instead.
Jim, I didn't notice that, while I did do some work on my WIP (which is not huge, but certainly not small either). What is going slow--the interface itself, compilation, playing the game?
All of the above. Even expanding from a small window to a full screen window has a lag. The compilation is a little slower, but the real deal breaker is the lag between each turn on the game. I'm back on the Windows version in the meanwhile.
Jim--I certainly don't have this lag. I think the best thing you can do is either post this problem on rec.arts.int-fiction, or contacting P.F.Chimento directly.
The issue I have is with Skein -- when I uncheck it in the preferences I'm lag free. Hooray! (I haven't used Skein anyway.) Dunno, maybe a gig and a half of ram is on the low side these days?
Thanks a lot! I was already worrying the eee pc was uncompatible with Inform >.<
I've found performance with recent versions of Inform 7 to be very slow in the editor, whether on my netbook or behemoth PC. I fixed this by turning off the "auto-indent after newline" option in the preferences. I was having to resort to using the Windows version myself until now.
+1 on the "uncheck auto-indent after newline" suggest for Ubuntu 10.04. Far sprightlier. Was unbearably slow on even a test story.
Ten thousand thanks for that newline suggestion, that worked a treat.
