Installing a program

New to Zorin, not so new to Linux or Ubuntu. Had ubuntu 10; went to Pinguy (ubuntu based); now graduated to Zorin 7 core.

Installed Bible Analyzer from software center. When I try to start it, it flashes on the screen, then immediately shuts down. Upon looking, I discovered that the BA files are in the /opt directory. I cannot find the opt directory except via the terminal. Used home directory, show hidden files.

I uninstalled BA, but when I look (via terminal) the program is still there.

Anybody else experience this, and how is it fixed?

Thanks

Hi Dale,

where did you get the package from?.

I went to this site:

http://pkgs.org/search/?keyword=Bible+Analyzer

but it isn't listed?.

Did you open Synaptic and then right click the package and see if there are any missing/suggested dependencies?.

I got it from the software center supplied by Zorin.
The program worked until I added some of the packages offered by BA. Then I downpladed it in .deb format.
I think the problem may be within the packages from BA. Not sure which one though. I would really like to get this working, if I could. Will try from the site you listed.
Thanks

Hi Dale,

using Zorin 7, I can find "Bible Analyzer" in Ubuntu Software Center but not in Synaptic which is strange, it also says it is "Free" but on the right it says "Buy"?????..

Regards Wolfman

This might be a way forward?
