    Can I install a Jaunty deb on Oneiric?

    Hi, I was looking for a crossword and other puzzle generator/player for Linux.
    The only one I could find, that makes puzzles as well as plays them is KrossWordPuzzle at kde.apps:

    http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php...content=111726

    Unfortunately, the deb is for Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty 32bit, and I have oneiric 64bit.

    Is it okay to install that deb, or will I have to compile? (I have no idea how...)

    Thanks for any help,

    Kailey.

    P.S.
    I would also like to know if you know of any other good puzzle makers/players?
    I already have the Xword one, that opens .puz, but aside from the above program, I haven't seen any others??

    LOL
    HI Kailey and welcome the the Kubuntu forums!

    It JUST SO HAPPENS.......that the one and only reason that I still have a windblows machine is because I regularly make crossword puzzles to hand out to my students.

    I thought that I knew about all of the available Linux crossword puzzle programs, but .....apparently, since I am older than dirt, I didn't know about this one...

    So....somebody much smarter about this Linuxy stuff will probably be by to help, but, I'll try it and report back! lol

    Thanks and do NOT be a stranger to the forums even if it does not work!

      Hi
      Unfortunately I am not on a Kubu machine because the wireless module went on the fritz. However, I did try to install it on another machine.

      I used Gdebi.

      You will have to go to the downloaded deb. the one for Ubuntu and right click it go to "properties" and click that and find the permissions tab and check the box that says "allow executing the file as a program" and tick it.

      If you have Gdebi installed you should be able to click it and see if it installs.

      I got an error of an unresolvable dependency: libkdegames5(>=4=4.3.2)

      It may be that one has to add a backport. I tried installing the dependencies from what the fellow said but that didn't help.

      So...I'd just try what I suggested and then reply to the thread with the results and I'm sure that someone will be along shortly to help!

          or will I have to compile? (I have no idea how...)
          Readme

          The KrossWordPuzzle source file has a README file:
          How To Build KrossWordPuzzle
          -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

          --- On Unix:

          > cd <project_name_path>
          > mkdir build
          > cd build
          > cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` .. <- do not forget the ..
          > make

          and then:
          > sudo make install or
          > su -c 'make install'


          Run "kbuildsycoca4" to get mime types (*.puz, *.kwp) recognized.


          to uninstall the project:..

          Build Dependencies

          - build-essential
          - cmake
          - kdelibs5-dev
          - libkdegames-dev


          Crashy ?

          The Game > "Save/Save as" is crashing the KrossWordPuzzle at here.

            I had written to Playdeb about it, as there were not many puzzle games on their site, and they have put it up!
            But so far only for Ubuntu 12.04.
