Re: bnr on ubuntu

I installed ubuntu 9.04 last week and after seeing this thread, decided 
to see about installing bnr on ubuntu.  I have to say, I followed the 
directions by putting the distribution and libraries into the local 
directory, extracted them, fired up bnr and everything worked fine.

Since I am not a Linux guru, I was impressed.  I do have one question. 
In the bnr script, it starts bnr with a bnr "$ <at> " and I am not sure what 
is replaced for $ <at> . I would like to create several directories
under my home directory for different sets to keep the database sizes 
smaller.

Here are the steps for installing versions of BNR2 for Linux prior to Beta 0.11.0:

Check the BNR Linux system requirements.
BNR basically has the same requirements as Kylix (which
is what BNR for Linux has been built with) besides the CD-ROM, so check the 
Borland Kylix system requirements.

Download the latest Linux version of BNR.
Most likely you will also need the Qt
runtime libraries libqt.so.2.gz and libqtintf.so.gz.
If you already have version 2.2.4 of these libraries (as libqt.so.2.2.4 and libqtintf.so.2.2.4)
you can use these by creating symbolic links libqt.so.2 and libqtintf.so to point to
the existing libraries, respectively.

Install BNR into a suitable directory.
The recommended installation method is to login as root and to create a directory /usr/local/bin/BNR,
run "tar xzvf bnr144.tgz" (for BNR1) or "gunzip BNR2.gz" (for BNR2) and gunzip both the Qt library files there.
Then you can create a script named bnr (or bnr2) into /usr/local/bin which contains
the following (for BNR1):
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/bin/BNR/
/usr/local/bin/BNR/BNR

(or for BNR2):
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/bin/BNR/
/usr/local/bin/BNR/BNR2

This makes it possible for every user to run BNR on your machine (provided the

Cheers for doing that, the more useful data this list has the better info
there is for others and new users can find if they use the search or ask.

Its a long time since I used the Yahoo groups list (via the Yahoo
page/e-mail) do they have all of the posts like Gmane.org ?

I just checked via the web site and they dont expire any posts.
