This is the error I get each time I try to install Scid on Ubuntu. Can Anybody give me some help? Thanks a lot. Alfred

Did you try to install it with the synaptic package manager in Ubuntu?
Scid has been already pre-packaged for download and installation.

system->administration->synaptic package manager
then seach scid, select scid and and then install it.

or you can directly type in the terminal

sudo apt-get install scid

And it will download it from the internet and install it. You need the root password in any case.

Problem solved. I received email from Mr. Pascal and he walked me through it. The Ubuntu package is an outdated version. Thanks a lot. Regards to all, Alfred
