Hi Rui,

I tried again and here is the error:

steve@NOAA98:~/Downloads$ ./uPyCraft_linux_V1.0 
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "uPyCraft.py", line 2, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/PyInstaller/loader/pyimod03_importers.py", line 714, in load_module
ImportError: /tmp/_MEIRLZ1Id/libz.so.1: version `ZLIB_1.2.9' not found (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng16.so.16)
[8364] Failed to execute script uPyCraft

I saw your answer about ZLIB, went to the link and followed the instructions. That seemed to install the libary, but when I try to run uPyCraft, I am getting the above error.

Any ideas??

Steve

Hello Steve, unfortunately I think that only compiling the IDE from the source would solve your problem. Can you try using the Thonny IDE that I also describe in the eBook in the last section?
In my opinion Thonny IDE is even better than uPyCraft IDE.
Thanks for your patience.
Regards,
Rui

That is what I have done before your reply, Thonny seems to work very well. Thanks for the help.

Yes, I think it works even better (unfortunately with uPyCraft IDE they kinda stop supporting/improving it). I really enjoy Thonny IDE and it even comes installed by default with Raspbian OS (for Raspberry Pi)
