[Gambas-user] Problem Gettig Started

[Gareth Bult]

Mmm,

All my machines (mostly) are 64-bit .. however I run them *all* in 32-bit mode .. there are just too many applications that are not 64-bit friendly .. Flash for example (!)  .. so Gambas isn't exactly alone re; it's lack of 64-bit support.

That said, you can of course run Gambas in a 32-bit chroot quite happily .. although it's not an ideal solution.
(and then there's vmware .. )

:)

Easy answer would be to re-install the x86 Ubuntu ...

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you're running a 64-bit version 
of Kubuntu?

That sizeof(CLASS) error message you get is due to various data types 
being a different size on 64-bit versions of Linux.  This means 
Gambas is 32-bit only at present, and unfortunately, the changes to 
the compiler and interpreter to make it 64-bit safe are major enough 
that they won't happen until after the release of 2.0.  (Hopefully 
JUST after, because I'm starting to think 64-bit machines will be in 
the majority by the time that happens.)

Java has had problems like this too, but Sun has more than one guy 
working on the internals of Java ;)
