Reinstalling Beagle on Ubuntu 8.04 causes System.DllNotFoundException libgalago error

Linux, OS No Comments »

A while back I removed the Beagle and Tracker desktop search engines from my Ubuntu 8.04.  As I’ve been consolidating more and more information into my home directory, I thought I would be able to simply install Beagle.

Installing Beagle

Boy was I wrong!  When I started up beagle search, I was rewarded with it dying on me:

$ beagle-search

I not so quickly determined I was missing libgalago-gtk1 and libgalago-gtk1.0-cil.  Once I installed them, everything was working properly!

New developers for Sybase’s Powerbuilder 11?

Powerbuilder, Sybase 2 Comments »

There still seems to be a steep learning curve when it comes to Sybase’s PowerBuilder. In this specific case, PB11 is no easier.

What *I* personally would like to see is:

  1. step by step online tutorials to create a multitude of projects - from simple ‘hello world’ applications to database connected applications to .NET to AJAX enabled .NET web apps
  2. online videos for the new and experienced developers rather than just feature highlights
  3. more books… from the “Beginning PowerBuilder 11″ (perhaps a ‘for Dummies’ series type book) to super advanced PB11
  4. more podcasts ( take a look at Meet the Gimp for example format )
  5. PowerBuilder gallery of open source and commercial PB applications (please don’t just point to the abomination known as codexchange) and online pb communities
  6. A better tiered licensing model: Free version (take a look at Microsoft’s VB Express for a model of what should be included for free), Student (K-university) edition, Professional / Small Business, Enterprise. There should be NO feature differences between the student and enterprise editions - the only difference should be in what PB can be used for (licensing).
  7. Open source & hobby-ist development should be actively promoted to help rebuild the PB community

Can anyone think of anything else to help new developers learn PowerBuilder?
