I downloaded tuxtype-slackware to my home directory and installed it using pkgtool, the Slackware package management tools which come standard in VL. Pkgtool said tuxtype2 installed, but a search of /var/log/packages didn't locate any such package.
I looked inside the tgz file for a hint about where the developers want to install the main binary, and that turned out to be /usr/local/bin. So I copied the tgz to /usr/local/tuxtype2 and installed it from there. That got me farther down the road. Tuxtype2 now shows up in /var/log/packages, and the binary is in /usr/local/bin. The main binary loads and some of the TuxType programs run including sound, but not all the programs run.
The binary starts and I get the main menu. When I choose any of the menu items except Practice and Options, the games fail. The command line shows the following errors which indicate an incomplete configuration and possibly something worse.
LoadSettings: Settings file does not exist! settings not loaded Segmentation faultThe doc files indicate that the tgz may not be a Slackware package but source code for compiling on Slack. I'll try unpacking and compiling the tgz next.

Sounds like a missing or incompatible library. Did you try tuxtype-slackware (tuxtype2-1.5.3-i386-1.tgz)? http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12715&package_id=84445 Mike -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Tom Brown <tbrown@xxxxxxxxxxxx>At the last FreeBox class, a participant asked whether VL 5.9 has a typing tutor. Well, it doesn't. So I decided to get one.The obvious choice is TuxType. There is no TuxType package at the VL 5.9 repository according to a search with the slapt-get package manager. The current stable source code is 1.7.0. I downloaded it and tried to compile it on Victor, my Vector Linux box. Configure doesn't throw errors, but make and checkinstall both throw a lot of warnings and crap out with the same error. Here is the make version of the primary error./home/tbrown/tuxtype_w_fonts-1.7.0/src/laser.c:320: undefined reference to `playsound'collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [tuxtype] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tbrown/tuxtype_w_fonts-1.7.0/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tbrown/tuxtype_w_fonts-1.7.0' make: *** [all] Error 2If anyone is willing to download the 1.7.0 source and have a go at correcting the error, that would be great. Otherwise, I'll report the problem to the TuxType developers and wait for them to reply.TuxType source -- http://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=31080 Tom ** This list is PUBLICLY archived. **PLEASE don't post personal or sensitive information unless you wish for it to be in the public domain.To post to the list send email to frgeek-michiana@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx The archive is available at //www.freelists.org/archives/frgeek-michiana/You may unsubscribe or change your list settings by going to the list website at //www.freelists.org/webpage/frgeek-michiana** This list is PUBLICLY archived. ** PLEASE don't post personal or sensitive information unless you wish for it to be in the public domain.
