Still not working. Downloaded net 3.5, ran pdf23ds.Lojgloss.exe, and getting “Scripts are not running on this page. That probably means you opened the .htm file instead of running pdf23ds.Lojgloss.exe. This page won’t do anything unless you run that program, sorry.”. Not helpful, since I AM running that program… Help?!

2.02 like 2.01 when executed only displays the message “The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135).”

Double-clicking pdf23ds.Lojgloss.exe in the 2.0.1 folder produces the “Application Error” message “The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application.”

I have a little success in running glosser under Linux.

Looks like glosser fails to open windows under Linux, but parsing and glossing server runs ok.

So, I did the following:
Runned parser in background
> ./runparser &

and opened lojgloss.htm in browser

> htmlview lojgloss.htm

And everything worked.

BTW, Dave, I had already heard from some people who had gotten it running under linux, so I assumed it would work for other people. There are always glitches, unfortunately, and I’m sorry you had to deal with them.

Mono was there; after I downloaded the latest (11/14) version it executes with an explicit mono pdf… command.

Do you have Mono installed? That’s required, and that’s what runs the executable. It doesn’t use Wine. If it won’t execute directly, does running “mono pdf23ds.PegParser.exe” work for you? If it does, I’ll modify my instructions accordingly. But for others on linux, they’ve been able to run it directly. I suspect you simply need to get Mono.

Knowing the WINE project is a quite large & effortful attempt to provide a Windows API under Linux, I was dubious that pdf23*.exe would run under Linux, but I tried it. Here’s the result:

dcortesi@ubuntu:~/Desktop/lojgloss$ chmod +x pdf23ds.PegParser.exe

dcortesi@ubuntu:~/Desktop/lojgloss$ ./pdf23ds.PegParser.exe

bash: ./pdf23ds.PegParser.exe: cannot execute binary file

I will give it another try under Windows, allowing it to open a port. But I’d like to know how you go about testing under Linux without actually COMPILING under Linux…

OK, Linux support is now available.

Dave, if you do a chmod +x on the executable, you’ll be able to execute it, but with version 1.4 Linux support is still broken.

The reason your firewall is alerting you is that the application runs an HTTP server that the HTML file accesses. The program does the parsing, and the HTM sends the Lojban text to the server to get back the parse tree.
