Hey hey. Just got Slack all set up on my computer. Now, I need a good paint program for the console. I only need 2D graphics with 256 colors. Very easy. (Yes, it's behind the times. That's the point. ) I don't have X, so the Gimp is out. I'll try Satan Paint if I have to, but I don't like the license agreement. I can't get 4P (or "uberpaint") to even compile, but I might try that again. Still, it is only a work in progress. EDIT: Whoops! Apparently 4P needs X, maybe for window management. I thought it just uses SDL. Huh. Once again, I just tried Po, and once again, it didn't even run. I install it following the instructions, switch to its directory, type "./po", and this is what I get:

$ ./po
./po: No such file or directory
$ ls .
data/ po
$ echo Excuse me?
You're excused. =)   

It's a needle in a haystack, I know, but does anyone know of something like this? (Yes, I'm looking too.) --------------- Ben "You have to struggle in order to succeed." --William Hung "Tree hugger.

ls -l po

does you have read and execute permissions on it?

I''m usually logged in as root, so I don''t know if that''s the problem. Maybe it has something to do with the format? I dunno.

Well, you should never ever log in as root unless you REALLY need to, and my advice would be to log in as a normal user then su to root. This prevents you from majorly messing up your box by accidentally typing rm -rf / home/foo/bar/blah

second, even if you are root, if you don''t have execute permissions to the file, you won''t be able to execute it. Check that you do, if not try chmod +x po and then run it.
