Processing on Ubuntu 8.04 April 12th 2008, mr.doob
Took a little bit but managed to make it run.

Steps:

1. Download the Linux version
2. If you don't have it, install Java Runtime (from Add/Remove Applications)
3. Go to System / Synaptic Package Manager, search for the libstdc++5 package and install it.
4. Unpack the .tgz that you just downloaded and execute the file 'processing'.
5. Enjoy.

With these packages installed shouldn't give any errors.

Hi there! I have a little problem with Compiz and Processing not liking each other :(
If Compiz is the composite manager on gnome, the screen crashes slowly when I run a sketch. Only if I disable compiz and -not necesseraly- set metacity to be the composite manager.
And ideas why could this happen?
I am having a Nvidia card with latest driver from repository.

it works. Thanks a lot.

FYI, I use it on Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit, and i use libstdc++6 and Sun JRE 6. So everybody with that same configuration should also able to install Processing.
