I downloaded the tarball for Linux, but after extracting it will not compile. It seems that it has already been compiled for Windows because it has an exe file. Am I doing something wrong or did somebody zip up the wrong file?

Bob

I tried running it from a terminal window, and I received the following error message:

[root@localhost SMathStudioDesktop.0_87.Mono]# mono SMathStudio_Desktop.exe

What am I doing wrong?

Bob

I located and installed mono-winforms, and then I got the following result.

[root@localhost SMathStudioDesktop.0_87.Mono]# mono SMathStudio_Desktop.exe

I couldn't find anything in the repository labeled Xlib.

Bob

No, that didn't help. The file it talks about (/usr/share/themes/LegacyHuman/gtk-2.0/gtkrc: ) is not on my system. The version of Linux that I'm using is PCLinuxOS 2009.

Bob

The file is not in root, but I did find it as hdb6/bob/.gtkrc-2.0. That section of the file is not an exact match for the one you referenced. This is what I have.

engine "clearlooks"
{
# scrollbar_color = "#f2f3ed"
menubarstyle = 0 # 0 = flat, 1 = sunken, 2 = flat gradient
menuitemstyle = 1 # 0 = flat, 1 = 3d-ish (gradient), 2 = 3d-ish (button)
listviewitemstyle = 1 # 0 = flat, 1 = 3d-ish (gradient)
progressbarstyle = 1 # 0 = candy bar, 1 = fancy candy bar, 2 = flat
animation = FALSE
}

The only change that I could see was to change the menubarstyle from 1 to 0. I can't see any difference in the way it operates. I can run SMath from a terminal window using mono, or I can double click on the .exe file in Konqueror and then open it with mono. The Windows version puts an icon on the desktop, but I haven't been able to get one in PCLOS.
