LibraryNotFoundError

[metro]

Hi All
I am using PCLOS2009 and have copied "rb101" to the "/home" directory

as per instructions CD'd to the rb101 folder
Typed ./rpb rb.in
and cranked Rb up
within RunBasic I then set Projects root: to "/home/rb101/projects"
and resources root: to "/home/rb101/public"

I then pasted the code from
runbasic.wikispaces.com/No+Frills+SQL+Demo
and ran it full screen only to get the following


Runtime Error in program 'untitled': sqliteconnect #mySQLdb, "SQLite3Database.db"
LibraryNotFoundError

it appears twice (because the connection is attempted twice)

My first thought is SQLITE is not found

I have installed it through SYNAPTIC and I'm assuming Carl has supplied it in "rb101/linux86

any ideas

thanks in advance

regards

Laurie

I am not familiar with that flavor of Linux, but I think you have RB installed in a ROOT area.
Under the "home" directory is the another directory named what ever your user name is or something like that?

If so then RB should be installed there.
/home/?/rb101/

Just a thought..

Thanks for the quick reply mackrackit

I resisted placing rb101 in my username folder in the hope that all users would have access to rb101whilst it was in the /HOME folder
I'm still very much a noob with Linux and RunBasic, permissions are set for all users to rwx

I took your advice and moved rb101 to /HOME/laurie/rb101, launched RunBasic and it works fine.
so I then moved rb101 to several different locations including back to where I had it in the first place
and it works fine.

I did note with the first install DefaultDir$ reported the wrong directory initially it pointed to /HOME/laurie
and not /HOME(where I had it), also I had to change "projects root:" and "resourses root:" manually to reflect RB's location.

Now where ever I move it too the DefaultDir$ is correct and the paths to the default root folders are correct and done automatically.

seems maybe there is a conf file some where that was corrupt initially

anyway thanks for your help

regards

Applications are usually placed into /opt/{application folder} (optional content).
Configuration files are placed into /etc/opt/{application folder} (miscellaneous content).
Files, which change frequently, are placed into /var/opt/{application folder} (variable content).

This is as outlined by the System V standard, BSD and others might follow a different approach to organize files.

The /home folder is intended to contain only user profiles, it is not a place to install applications.

Just solved my LibraryNotFoundError. I had a copy of mysql on the system after the uninstall of mysql I had no more problems.
