    Sure, I have a recent golded that runs on linux. If you are having trouble running golded on linux I would try a fresh install.

    Many GoldED users run the Linux version. It can also run under MacOS and FreeBSD.

    Sure, I have a recent golded that runs on linux. If you are having
    trouble running golded on linux I would try a fresh install.

    https://github.com/golded-plus/golded-plus

    I've downloaded the 64-Bit tarball from there and installed it but I can't get it to run on my new Manjaro system.

    First attempt, it complained about missing ncurses5 libs, so I installed ncurses5-compat-libs from the Manjaro AUR repo.

    Second attempt, it compalined about this:
    golded: /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5: version `NCURSES_5.0.19991023' not found (required by golded).

    What now?

    Regards,
    Martin

    That can be a problem with pre-compiled programs on linux.

    First attempt, it complained about missing ncurses5 libs, so I installed ncurses5-compat-libs from the Manjaro AUR repo.

    You probably don't need the -compat ncurses. On Slackware I build with ncurses-6.2_20201219 and golded builds fine.

    What now?

    Did you grab fresh sources from github? If not grab them from the above URL and let us know if the problem persists.

    Yeah, that's correct .....

    Yes, I grabbed the source and it compiled without errors and my shiny new copy of 'gedlnx' runs as sweet as a nut :))

    Thanks for your help.

    One thing I notice with my 64bit build that I don't think is a problem with a 32bit build is that subject lines that begin with "Re:" can sometimes but not always get a little messed up.

    Ah, thanks for the heads-up but I have my tosser configured to strip those pesky "Re:"s, so it shouldn't be a problem. We shall see :)
