I have installed Varkon_1.19D on my Linux (Slackware 11.0). First I run my script file to define the necessary variables. Then I start xvarkon and I get a small gray menu listing the following:
Explicit, Generic, Help and Exit.
If I select Explicit I get "Segmentation fault" and menu disapears.
If I select Generic I get the same. Selecting Help gives a popup
stating:
Startup log !
VARKON_ROOT is /home/dudley/Varkon_1.19D
Varkon memory allocation system initialized
Varkon system data initialized
Varkon debug system initialized
Processing command line
0 bin/xvarkon
Command line sucessfully processed
Varkon error system initialized
Varkon levels initialized
inifil_1 =
inifil_2 =
WinPac (WP) initialized
IG0202 (null)index.htm
WPselect_sysmode help error
There is a small popup
Here is my start script:
# Root directory for VARKON installation.
# Alternative 1, relative path.
#VARKON_ROOT=`(cd $(/home/dudley/Varkon_1.19D $0); cd ..; cd ..; pwd)`
# Alternative 2, explicit path.
VARKON_ROOT=/home/dudley/Varkon_1.19D
export VARKON_ROOT
# Root directory for VARKON installation.
# Alternative 1, relative path.
#VARKON_ROOT=`(cd $(/home/dudley/Varkon_1.19D $0); cd ..; cd ..; pwd)`
# Alternative 2, explicit path.
VARKON_TMP=/home/dudley/Varkon_1.19D
export VARKON_TMP
VARKON_LIB=$VARKON_ROOT/lib
export VARKON_LIB
# The following line is an example that includes
# an additional directory.
# VARKON_LIB=/home/username/my_library:$VARKON_ROOT/lib
What have I done wrong ?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Well, I got it started. I was firing up the wrong file. I was trying to start with /bin/xvarkon instead of /com/english/varkon.
I've already had 2 crashes though. One while trying to change a lines
thickness from 0 to 2 ( as in the tutorial ) and again when I tried to
copy a line. When a popup asked" maintain same level" I answered
yes and everything disapeared. poof! Not sure now if I have any
faith in this tool. 2 crashes in 5 minutes.

2 crashes in 5 mins is no fun. With a tool that
has been used for so long time by so many ppl it's
strange however that nobody else has similar problems.
I have no clue to what may be the problem. Start Varkon
again with a completely new job name. If it craches, send
me the startup logfile.
