Hi Jeremy,
Can you please tell me where I can download the latest version of VICE (VICE
3.1) for Linux Ubuntu 9.10 and what dir. to put it in? I assume it's
/usr/lib/vice.
Thank you,
Marlon Schmitt

Hi Marlon,
I would say it's either because you're accidentally trying to run it from the
wrong directory, or because you're missing a dependency. Compiling applications
from source on Linux can be a tricky business, because the process can vary
from computer to computer.
If you're using the graphical user interface (GUI) that comes with most
versions of Ubuntu, you should be able to create and rename folders graphically
just like in Windows.
If you use the terminal, the commands are:
Creating a directory (folder):
mkdir directory_name
Renaming/moving a directory:
mv oldname newname
It might be easier if you just install it from the Ubuntu repository. Unlike in
Windows, where most people download applications from the Internet and expect
them to run on a PC, Linux usually uses "repositories" (sort of like an app
store) to distribute software that is specifically compiled for each different
distribution. This is because the software developers only create a single
generic Linux program, but the requirements to get a program running for each
different distribution (Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, etc.) can vary. We access the
"repositories" using a tool called a "package manager". In Ubuntu, the package
manager is called "Aptitude" and is accessed from the terminal using commands
like "sudo apt-get update" to retrieve up-to-date lists of available software;
"apt-cache search program-name" to check if some particular program is
available, "apt-cache show program-name" to get details about a specific
program, and "sudo apt-get install programname" to actually install it.
Note that "sudo" tells the computer the run the program as "root", equivalent
to running with administrator privileges in Windows.
Try opening a terminal and running these two commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vice
You'll then need to do some additional configuration before it will actually
run. Here are some instructions specific to Ubuntu:

Adjust settings. Now that the C64 emulator works, we can begin to set it up.

Hope that helps...I know it can seem daunting to use Linux after switching from
Windows.

Hello computer friends. I replaced my W 10 OS with Linux Ubuntu 9.10, and I
managed to download WinVice 3.0, and then extracted all the files, but when I
typed ./configure && make && make install in the command line, the computer
said that ./configure doesn't exist. I couldn't find any x64 files to run,
either. Does anybody know what to do, or how to get WinVice 3.1 for Linux?
I would also appreciate any advice on how to create or rename folders, run
programs, etc., since I am new to Linux.
Thank you,
Marlon S.
