Installation problems on fedora 40
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...
Unable to save changes in database
The problem seems to be the versions of gcc and its libs. I did a test, copied all the scidb-beta executables installed on arch linux to debian, and when I tried to run scidb-beta on debian, it didn't open, generating the following error in the terminal... /usr/local/bin/tkscidb-beta: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by /usr/local/bin/tkscidb-beta) /usr/local/bin/tkscidb-beta: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by /usr/local/bin/tkscidb-beta)...
Error when opening the same .sci database on different systems?
Thank you for your answer. Indeed it didn't even start when I tried to run it without installing, but after installation it works well.
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

No, it is not possible to run the program without installing it. the program to run isscidb-beta - it is usually installed in /usr/bin (I am not sure what the relationship is with tkscid-beta or tclscidb-beta which are also installed)
Hey see details of [#210] You need at least one of the patches so that gcc 10+ can be recognised - probably you need all the patches in that issue

@Drew Ferguson Thank you very much. By applying your patches, I could build the application on Linux Mageia. By the way, is it possible to run the application without installing it? If I do this: [roland@localhost src]$ ./tkscidb-beta I get only a little blank window.

Installation error
Scidb was finally installed and running well after numerous fixes in ubuntu 22.04. Then today is starts and before it finishes loading I get this error in the terminal. I don't have a clue how to fix this. Please help. terminate called after throwing an instance of 'tcl::Exception' Aborted (core dumped) Carol & Denny McAnulty cmcanulty@hotmail.com
I have spent the last few weeks intensively trying to get scidb to install in ubuntu 22.04 and the latest kernel version of ubuntu 20.04. I worked up a tutorial and tested it on several computers. If possible, please post it in the scidb discussion group. Thank you it is a great program. PS I just cleaned up the tutorial a bit Carol McAnulty cmcanulty@hotmail.com

can someone please help me fix this. I have tried on multiple linux forums and no luck. It doesn't install on debian either as I installed debian on a machine to try this. Is it possible to make a snap to eliminate continual install problems. Thank you for all your hard work on this great app!
Further detective work may help someone that is better with code than me: OK maybe this helps . I did a locate search for sysctl.h on both computers so I see the differences but don't have a clue how to fix it. I did search for the pkg sysctl.h and it doesn't appear to be available for 22.04. On the system that works I get this: Code: cmcanulty@HPPavilion23:~$ locate sysctl.h /usr/include/linux/sysctl.h /usr/share/python3-pycparser/fake_libc_include/sys/sysctl.h /usr/src/linux-headers-5.15.0-27/include/linux/sysctl.h...
update some progress I did these things and got ./configure to run on xubuntu 22.04 but see the end for another fatal error that has my stuck I have gotten ./configure to run by using this web site to install and older gcc.

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.

I just upgraded to xubuntu 20.04 today and now scidb fails again with this error. However I have 4:11.2 installed. Somehow scid sees that as 11.2 not 4:11.2 see screenshot below.

I hate to do this as a reply but I can't see any way to post a new topic. help please. I hope a snap version of scidb could be developed. I have spent all day trying to install scidb on ubuntu 20.04 and yeas I did do all the dependencies that were suggested.
Anyway... It's looking like Scidb might be in a big hiatus. :( I'm going to have a proper look at the project as inspiration for features / ideas to bring to Scid vs PC. Does anyone have suggestions ? But only little GUI elements really... Porting some of Scidb's speedy database elements is probably beyond me.
you can just edit this file and remove that line, that include is no longer necessary. the code will compile fine.
The search function is not yet available, although the planning stage for its implementation seems far advanced.
I feel so stupid. I can load databases but can find no place to search the database for a certain position. In fact I see no search option for anything in scidb. I know this is one of the main functions. I have tried all the toolbars, right clicking, etc. Please someone explain.

I have the option show material enabled. What I would like is an option to show captured pieces is there any way to do this? I know this is sort of a dummy option but I am a chess dummy.

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.)
Remark : rebuilding doesn't seem to help
bad option "fullscreen": must be cget or configure
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.

Yes, this is already planned with next database version. In this version it will be possible to attach documents to databases/games/positions, and the document will be displayed in information window. I don't have a scheduling for next version, but I think it will be released this year. But I'm not yet sure whether I can decode the ChessBase format for documents (text portions).

Is there any way or a plan to make the text portions of chessbase training books or CDs available on scidb? For example Paul Morphy - Genius and Myth.cbh or Michael Stean Simple Chess
