[Gambas-user] Examples in gambas 2.5.0 don't open

[Mike Brett]

Thanks Martin, Jason. However, I've changed the permissions of the
examples to "-rwxrwxrwx" (owner root, group root) which I would have
thought would be enough for anybody, and I still can't get them to open.
They won't open even when I'm root. I was advised by a friend to try
'tail' to trap any sysloggable messages from gambas but nothing showed up.

The example folders contain the class files as plain text plus a binary 
gambas project file it shows as MIME type
application/x-extension-gambas which I imagine is what it should.

Any further thoughts, please?

[Context is Gambas 2.5.0 on Fedora 8 (rpms from the LDRWEB site). None
of the examples will open, despite the fact that the files are in the
appropriate folders. I just get "This project does not exist" messages.
(The installation placed the examples in /usr/share/gambas2/examples)

Indeed if I 'Open Project' and navigate to the various examples folders,
they won't open from there either. I can highlight a .gambas file and
click OK and nothing happens.]

Thank you    - Mike -

Maybe you just need to change the access rights. By default, the files
in this folder are only accessible to root. The access rights should
be set at least to "r--r--r--" (readable to all), or chmod 555.
If you want to edit the example projects, you probably need to move
them into your home folder and give them read- and write-access
(chmod 666).
You can also leave them in the default location and use the "save as"
option in Gambas in order to make a copy which you can work on.
