A little backburner project of mine has now reached orbit. I have managed to massage Minsky in a point where the openSUSE build service will create installable linux binary packages for a range of different Linux distros. If you're keen to try this out, web to http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Ahpcoder1&package=minsky, select you distribution and version, and follow the instructions. These are basically given as a sequence of shell commands you copy and paste into a root shell. I have not tried this out on all available distros. I did try openSUSE (of course), Ubuntu and CentOS. It worked on openSUSE and Ubuntu, but there appears to be a problem with the TK installation on CentOS. Your mileage may vary, or course. If your OS version is supported, there is also the option for downloading rpms, or deb files that you can install on your system without going via the automatic installer. At very least, the source code for both Minsky and EcoLab have been updated to allow it to build easily on Debian style systems - which appear to inhabit the outer spiral arm of the Limux galaxy. Please give this a whirl, and let me know if there are specific system that the install doesn't work with. I can follow these up using a virtual machine.
