I found icudt58b.dat but no luck with obj-powerpc-linux-gnu/dist/bin or the ./mach things. Is this why I can't run sealion in fienix? I didn't need to do that for void.

I was pleased to discover that I can keep my Duolingo streak going with sealion in Void instead of switching over to the windows laptop, provided I have enough time. It doesn't work on Eolie in void; the bird keeps hopping forever as it pretends to be loading. Over ten minutes so far.

I hope I will soon be able to do it in fienix6. I get sound in fienix6 but so far none in void. Nice to have sound with language lessons!

Those instructions are for building SeaLion from source. I've updated SeaLion in the Fienix software repository. Please try to install from the repo using Synaptic or

Code: Select all

apt-get install sealion-browser
.

At Synaptic I click Settings > Repositories. Six lines come up in a little window all related to fienix, three "evo" and three "evo-testing," all marked "Enabled." I can't figure out a way to get anything like sealion out of them.

I tried apt-get as superuser and got this:

root@fienix:/home/fienix# apt-get install sealion-browser
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package sealion-browser
root@fienix:/home/fienix#

Very frustrating.

So many things I used to do pretty automatically but can't remember anymore.

I seem to have SeaLion going properly in fienix6 now.
