 Recently I have not been able to use the software farm options from the IDE to download or download + install examples from the Software Farm. The files seem to download. I get the progress bard counting then a message box pops up with the error "Unable to install [name ver of software]:" I will try to attach a screen capture. If I go to the web site in my browser and download the file from the farm, I can extract the files in my file manager and place the folder in my Gambas3 directory and use them that way.  I am wondering if I need to fix something on my computer or if something else is wrong?

I am using Gambas 3.18.0 on: System:    Kernel: 5.4.0-139-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 9.4.0
           Desktop: Cinnamon 5.2.7 wm: muffin dm: LightDM Distro: Linux Mint 20.3 Una
           base: Ubuntu 20.04 focal

Any ideas on what may need fixed?

 What is the extension of the downloaded archive?

it should support ".tar.gz"  and ".tar.bz2"

I tried to access this program on the Farm and got exactly the same error message for both 'Download' and 'Download and install' options. I managed to get the program running by downloading the file from the Farm via Gambas.one here, uncompressing the file, then opening it with Gambas.

 Apparently you have to wait for the next stable release.

What happened was a server update that changed the case of some headers (like changed title to Title) or something like that.

All Benoit could do was apply a fix in gambas as the current and previous code did a direct
If sHeader = "This text"  sort of thing

he changed it to something like
If LCase(sHeader) = "this text"

so now it works but EVERY previous gambas can no longer use the farm.

For some reason I thought it had been fixed on the server but apparently not.

Thanks for the responses. I was afraid I broke something, because that hardly ever happens…  :roll:
At least I can still use the farm web location. I learn so much from the programs there.
