theYinYeti Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 I don't have the slightest idea what the .linux extension is... Have you tried to simply issue this command in a root console: urpmi pico Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 (edited) It seems being a single file console texteditor. http://www.naspa.com/cgi/library.cgi?libra...&file_index=120 You can change the file attribs to executable and running it from console like "./pico*". It fails to work at my system ( error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory )- I guess this is older than the great pyramid.

kalliste Posted August 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Thanks folks! I tried both suggestions and get the same errors. I've found nano, which appears very similar and has the added advantage of installing :-) thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 You might also want to take a look at the text editor, joe. Joe is one executable that can emulate a number of text editors, including pico. From the joe man page: JOE is a powerful ASCII-text screen editor. It has a "mode-less" user interface which is similar to many user-friendly PC editors. Users of Micro-Pro's WordStar or Borland's "Turbo" languages will feel at home. JOE is a full featured UNIX screen-editor though, and has many features for editing programs and text. JOE also emulates several other editors. JSTAR is a close imitation of WordStar with many "JOE" extensions. JPICO is a close imitation of the Pine mailing system's PICO editor, but with many extensions and improvements. JMACS is a GNU-EMACS imitation. RJOE is a restricted version of JOE, which allows you to edit only the files specified on the command line. Although JOE is actually five different editors, it still requires only one executable, but one with five different names. The name of the editor with an "rc" appended gives the name of JOE's initialization file, which determines the personality of the editor.
