@xytotron - my Win 7 newLISP setup on my (home) Dell Vostro works fine. But. You make me think. I have not installed any Windows updates in quite a while. What you say makes me think that if I do, I will arrive at the same situation I have at work. So, in order to preserve my sanity, and my current ...

I am not sure what is meant here: That means, you also can use the Emacs based IDE to edit/launch programs launching and communicating with the Java based guiserver. The problems you had, where just shelling out from Java, starting a new process, but you still can use Java from newLISP Which IDE are...

I finally found a folder at C:\emacs\lisp\progmodes (emacs on my setup is on C:\emacs) containing a bunch of .el files that I assume are mode files, and placed newlisp.el in it. Not a single posting or guide found thus far even mentions that folder. Then I found a book I bought years ago on Gnu Emac...

Thanks, again, rickyboy. usb drives, at my workplace, are unfortunately even more verboten and reviled than handing out the permission I would need for java. Insert one, and a so-called support person is sure to arrive (looking peeved) within seconds, and speaking in tongues :( Nonetheless, I am gla...

Thanks very much, rickyboy.

Btw, what about the available newLISP modes for emacs? Have you used any of them, and is it difficult to get one working?

Org, email -- wow -- you sound like one of those "emacs as an OS" people :)

Java, ptoo! Blech! :) Well, rickboy, you got a laugh out of me there. I do like Emacs on my Ubuntu machine, though am not particularly good at using it, yet. What you say makes perfect sense, of course, except that the last time I tried installing Emacs on Windows was only slightly better than wait...

Just another question on this:

I'm not familiar with the Newlisp HTML IDE. Would that be an option? In other words, would that allow me to side-step java?

Sorry @rickyboy, that I never got a chance to reply. Lutz's diagnosis is well reasoned, to do with Java. I believe that's hit the nail on the head. Whether I can *do* anything about it is another question, if I am indeed up against permission problems. Everyone loves to hate/hates to love Java these...

Java 7 update 21 breaks my newLISP install :(

Ok, so my work PC crashed and burned, and I now have a newer one. It had an older version of Java on it - Java 7, update 1. I installed newLISP on the machine with that old java, and it worked fine. Then, I updated to the latest,Java 7, update 21, and the problem returned. Does anyone know of a way ...

Well, I am beat. First I uninstalled Java. Then I rebooted. Then I uninstalled newLISP. Rebooted. Re-installed (Java 7 update 21, which was what was on offer from Oracle), rebooted. Re-installed newLISP. Still get the same error. Well, at least I have it at home on both Win 7 and Ubuntu. I am just s...

Thanks for all the quick responses. After another few attempts, including installing in C:\Program Files rather than the (x86) equivalent (because I found java in C:\Program Files, but not in the other, though I doubt that made any difference), I am back to where I started. I still get the same erro...

Hello all Have just re-installed newLISP (Win 7 pro 64 bit). When I try running programs from the IDE, I get: run-shell Could not start C:\Program Files (x86)\newlisp/newlisp.exe -C -w "C:\Users\MyUserName" I have java installed, and the IDE loads ok and loads files ok. It just won't run them. Will ...

I see I forgot some detail when thanking Lutz and xytotron: 1. I am going to program the GET/POST from an Android phone game app. 2. For now I am using a very simple game just to test saving and retrieving scores. 3. The test game is written in Basic4Android - but it will be fun to try a rewrite in ...

Thanks for all the inputs and help - I think I can make a start on this with all this guidance. Much appreciated.

I can't work out how to update and retrieve scores stored in a sqlite database on my web site. A game on an Android phone needs to do this. Is there some kind of "secret" way of doing this that bypasses the business of visibly logging on and clicking submit buttons? My site has a database on it, and...

Apologies to all whom I involved in this, when it was caused by nothing more than my ignorance of (set-locale).

I am Sheerluck still, not Clouseau. did the trick. Thanks again Cormullion. I doubt I would have tumbled to that, notwithstanding all my hours spent RTFM. That penny somehow never dropped :(

Thanks, Cormullion. I did indeed overlook set-locale.

So, fearlessly, Sheerluck will intrepidly try same out. I'll report whether I turned out to be Inspector Clouseau instead.

In the end I had to have a go, and just to confirm: Changing my language from English South Africa to English GB solved the problem. Raw code copied from Cormullion's link worked without a hitch. This is a real problem for South African Ubuntu users. Wikipedia notes (from the official government sty...

Well, what do you know? The code, of course (since it works for everybody but me) is fine, so I wanted to home in the INSERT statement. It turned out I could not fine tune the debugger well enough to access what was really being produced as Sqlite's INSERT string. So I debugged after each appended, ...

Thanks rickyboy for doing the Ubuntu 12.10 test. I hope to get around to debugging today. Extra points for Ubuntu duly noted :)

Hey, Cormullion, you got a chuckle from me there. But, if I earn any a nickname from this, it'll come from a different author, the one who wrote about Sheerluck Holmes.

Lutz got there before me - I did suspect libreadline, so that is now ruled out, but the fact remains that I did build my Ubuntu 64 bit newLISP from source myself, and I did encounter problems along the way. So, I thought, it's as likely as anything else that I made a botch job of it. So, I just ran ...

I tested Cormullion's program on a distro named Peppermint Ice, running on an old Acer Aspire One Z150. It ran without problems. Peppermint Ice is an Ubuntu lightweight spin, so I guess we could change the score to Windows 2: Ubuntu 1. Without tracing and debugging, I am pretty sure this is a "64 bi...
