It's hard to know without more information, but I think
it's probably because you are trying to execute it
without installing it (i.e., as ./mp-5). This does not
work, as it reads its components
from /usr[/local]/share/mp-5.
Try installing it. You can always do 'make uninstall' if
you're not happy.
mp_core.mpsl
I try to start mp-5.0.0 in a debian-box with gtk-2.12.1-2 and I get this error.
File 'mp_core.mpsl' not found in INC
what I can do to solve this?
thanks.
Re: Syntax Highlighting

I don't use those programming languages so I'm not
qualified to add an optimal syntax highlight for them,
but contributions are always welcome.

It works differently from other software because it's
different :-) Now seriously, I don't think it's THAT
different. Maybe mouse selections are not so usual,
but I don't see the way it works as a stopper.
Regarding font size, you can also change it with
ctrl-keypad-plus and ctrl-keypad-minus (apart from
F11 / F12). Anyway, keybindings are changeable.
There is always somebody that won't like the default
keybindings of your program. Some people even
asked why it does not use vi or emacs keybindings.
Don't like them? Change them.

Re: Would be better
How come it works so much different from traditional software?
Example, many browsers increase/decrease the font size with ctrl and +/- instead of F11/F12.
The way to select text is also different from most software.
It would be alot easier if you could just sit down and start to use it without have to figure out how it works.

Hi! Default fonts are "Mono 14" when using Pango or
"lucidatypewriter 14" without it, so they can arguably
be somewhat larger for some configurations.
Anyway, it's easy to change them in the configuration
file. Also, font size can be zoomed in/out in an
editing session by pressing F11 / F12. Text can be
selected with the mouse, but not in the usual
dragging way, but right-clicking the start and end of
the block.
The 'Error executing command' when cancelling is
certainly a bug; I've just taken note about it.
Thanks for your help,
Angel Ortega
Would be better
Would be better with a smaller and more suitable font and if it was able to select text with the mouse.
It says something about an error when you click on cancel on the "run system command" dialog, which doesnt fell all right.

As of version 3.2.11, Minimum Profit includes syntax highlighting for Python.

I had the same error on a ubuntu box when I ran config.sh with the --debian flag. After re-running config.sh without it and reinstalling it now runs fine, plus installs to /usr/local instead of in the main tree which I prefer anyway.
