Thanks. Good to know you are running it on Linux. Which distro? I have Kubuntu
installed. It seemed to be something to do with their Make tool they were using. I normally
just use normal Make. Never used that one. It gave some weird errors that I don't remember
now. Seems like something was missing or just not set right. Usually I can figure things
like this out as I am a retired programmer. I should give it a try and if it still happens I can
post the errors here. Maybe someone will have suggestions.

remember the details but something with CMake. The binaries ran fine on Windows, but

Try it again! Works well.

Back then I had an Ubuntu2004 5.8.0.3600 version (tar file). Now I downloaded a Debian version
5.8.0.3608 (tar file). There is no Ubuntu version showing, but Ubuntu is based off of Debian so will
try this the next time I get on that machine.

Just installed the provided Debian binaries and so far looks Ok. I will attempt to compile eventually if I feel the need.
