Please forgive this; I am using Gmail and when I check the list on SourceForge my message is not readable so I try again. I have just re-installed ooRexx on my laptop after my desktop failed. When I try to run an ooRexx script from either my text editor (EditPlus) or from the command line I get the following error message: Logic error: no startup image Can anyone tell me what that means? And how do I fix it? I had ooRexx and EditPlus working well together on my desktop Regards, Peter -- There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things -- Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince, ch. 6 |

It sounds like ooRexx isn't installed properly. I'm not familiar with windows, but I think there should be a file installed called rexx.img. At least that is the only association I can think of to go with the error message. So either it didn't get installed or it isn't where it can be found. Did you install ooRexx from a new download from Sourceforge? Which file did you down load? Did you allow it to install where it wanted to install, accept the defaults?

Bruce, I selected ooRexx4.0.1.i586.exe from the ooRexx website's Dowloads page which took me to Sourceforge and downloaded the file from there. rex.img is installed in the following path: C:\Program Files\ooRexx\rexx.img What does this file do?

Peter, I'm not really sure, but it was the only thing I could think of that would be related to "image". I think that it does contain executable code. We are now beyond my limited knowledge about installing on Windows. Oh, and another thing to check would be to see if the rxapi service is running. That might cause a problem. In answer to your question, yes you should be able to double-click run a rexx script. You said that this was working on your primary machine. Was that machine running ooRexx V4 or V3.2? Bruce |

Ok, none taken. Have a good night's rest. Perhaps there will be some more knowledgeable people online later.

If you install rxapi as a sevice, it starts when the OS boots up. If not, it starts automatically when you run a Rexx script. Checking if rxapi is running would be one way to check that ooRexx was installed correctly. > The dead PC was running 4.0.1, same as the laptop. It's not clear to me if you have got past this problem. Your other post seems to indicate that you now have things running. Are you still getting the message?

However, this morning I have tried it several times and it seems to be working fine, both from the Command Prompt and from within EditPlus - I hate these type of problems.

When you install ooRexx, the installer adds it to the path. But, any programs that were already running won't be aware of the new path. So, if you had EditPlus open before you started the ooRexx install, it would not have the ooRexx directory in the path. Then if you started the interpreter by typing the full path to rexx.exe, you might get that message. Same thing for a command prompt if it was opened before you started the install. Otherwise, as long as things are working now, you can just chalk it up to one of those computer things you can't explain. -- Mark Miesfeld |
