RE: IUP and Ubuntu

["Antonio Scuri" <scuri@...>]

  Ok. Thanks for the feedback. I think we should provide a "remove" script
as well.

  The existence of the /usr/lib64 folder made the 3.4 script to install the
files in the wrong place, so the 3.3 files were still there. Thank you for
your attention with the scripts. As I said this is the second version the
scripts are available, so they still need improvements.

  I can improve that by adding the "64" only if the system was really 64
bits. Since you downloaded iup-3.4_Linux26g4_lib.tar.gz I'm assuming that
your system is 32 bits right?

  Ok. I will fix that.

  This was a bug in my packaging script, that file should be there. 

  Thanks again. I think there will be a 3.4.1 soon.
