Hello Carol, meanwhile I install it on Lubuntu 24.04.04 and under Linux Mint 22 also. Both times it went well after making the suggested change in the script. Thanks a lot for your effort and time you invest to provide this great solution. Kind regards // Peter

I believe the tutorial says make clean after ./configure then sudo make install let me know if I should change that I spent days screwing around to get it to work as I love the program &I hope sometime they can make a deb file so ordinary blokes could use it in ubuntu or debian From: discussion@scidb.p.re.sourceforge.net discussion@scidb.p.re.sourceforge.net on behalf of Peter merlin43@users.sourceforge.net Sent: Monday, February 9, 2026 3:26 AM To: [scidb:discussion] general@discussion.scidb.p.re.sourceforge.net...

Hello Carol. what a great tutorial you made . It worked very well. The only change I did was that I put in the "make" after "./configure". I did not do this at first by following the instruction I got an error message the # include in line 30 was missing.. Now I can use Scidb and the progamm worked well also. Thanks for all the effort and time you invest and thanks for the great support. Kind regards // Peter

For some reason scidb thinks any gcc above 9 is older than it is. It seems to ignore the first digit. I have a tutorial with a fix for that and some othe issues which works fine still as I installed in on a new computer a few days ago. See attachment. This file should also still be on the scidb discussion forum. Email me if this doesn't work.

Hello, I just tried to install Scidb and got exactly the same error message. TCL/ Tk version 8.6 Operation system is Linux 6.8.02-62-generic Version 24.04.3 LTS (Noble Numbat) Checking if your system has gcc installed: yes but existing gcc version 13.3 is too old. The required version is 3.4 and higher... 13.3 is higher and newer so I assume there is an error in the script which is checking the gcc version. Perhaps it only checked the first digit.. this would be a 1 and then it said is to old. How...

As a workaround for saving modified games to the database, I use the following methods: 1) Instead of "Replace game in..." use "Add new game to..." and then delete the previous version of this game. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. 2) A more reliable way is to save the game with changes to a separate file, and then manually copy it and paste it into the database file, not forgetting to delete the previous version of the game. Essentially, this is the same as the first method, only we do...

The name of the binary is scidb-beta; it is in the tcl tree of your source . It may not function fully though as some components (such as the engines, graphics and other things) get installed in /usr/bin and below /usr/share If you do install it, there is an uninstall function should remove everything; run it from the top of your source tree sudo make uninstall

Here's an update on the issue. scidb works fine on the machine I upgraded from xubuntu 20.04 to 22.04. It won't install at all on the clean install of 22.04. Both have identical installs of gcc and both have all the recommended dependencies. The clean install gets the error in my previous post. Maybe I am missing some other app that needs to be installed for gcc to work properly? Though scidb does work OK on the upgraded computer.

Where from did you get 1531? I see only 1475 available. And it works fine on my 18.04 mate - I've just followed the installation instructions. Unfortunately the installation does not work on 20.04. Taking into account that 18.04 is supported only till ~03.21, we are getting into trouble. Or anyone succeeded with installing on 20.04?

Same result with tcl and tk built from source.

Remark : it happened with last revision 1531 (which was working fine as I wrote above.)

I can successfully install scidb version r1531 with no errors but it crashes when I open it. 1475 runs fine. I am using xubuntu 18.04. Any advice would be appreciated.

This is indeed a strange behavior, and I agree that this is a bug with high priority. Unfortunately I don't have a working computer, and in these difficult Corona times I cannot buy hardware. So I will work on this problem later.

Many thanks, Steve, for the support. Obviously there is a problem with newer compilers, but currently my laptop is defective, and I will fix this problem later.

Installing other versions of gcc/g++ is not ususally straight forward, and i'm not familiar with Manjaro, sorry. Have a google. Does this help ? https://gist.github.com/slizzered/a9dc4e13cb1c7fffec53 But once it's installed, use something like CC=gcc-5 CXX=g++-5 ./configure && make && sudo make install to compile scidb. Good luck.
