UCB Logo on Ubuntu

[Bill Gunshannon]

IS anyone running UCB Logo on current Ubuntu (18.04)?
I grabbed the tarball but it won't build. Finding
problems with mathcalls.h right off the bat and then
more problems later. Is it possible it won't build
in a 64bit environment?

I haven't used Logo in years but with my grandson
growing fast I may want to introduce him to it before
too long.

Hi Bill,

There are at least two options to get UCBLOGO running on your Ubuntu 18.04 system

Option 1:
There is UCBLOGO 6.0 in Ubuntu 18.04 (for several platforms including x64) repository, so this should just work:
$ sudo apt-get install ucblogo
or use your favorite package manager to install the package (Synaptic etc.).

Option 2:
If your prefer pre-WxWidgets version with Emacs Logo-mode included, you can download adapted for building on UBUNTU 16.04 UCBLOGO 5.5-3 tarbal from:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/xenial/ucblogo

and build it manually. It can be built without any problems on Ubuntu 18.04.

Personally, I prefer option 2, but for you particular purpose option 1 seems to be more suitable.

Regards,
Alexey

Thank you, I chose option 1: :-)

I wonder why the UCBLOGO page didn't mention using apt-get
for linux users. Oh well, now I can play. Let's see how
much I can actually remember after a more than 20 year
hiatus from Logo.

Do you have a link to the Text adventure? That sounds interesting to me.

Maybe Don Hopkin's adventure game originally for Terrapin C64 Logo.

It was recently ported to Apple II Logo and Lisp Logo.
