I'm more a Red Hat/Fedora user. It would be nice to see packages from that side of the Linux spectrum.

It is possible to build version for RedHat from sources:
http://gitlab.molpit.org/blackbox/freenix
I have tested BlackBox on Red Hat 6.3 server few days ago and it works well.
I do not know about GUI... If it is possible to install 32bit Gtk2 libraries, it should works now.

I have installed the Oct 4, 2015 version. When I click on blackbox executable in /usr/lib/blackbox, nothing happens.
I have checked properties, and it has execute permission.

I am running on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, running on a Toshiba Chromebook 2 (CB35-C3300) through chroot.

Try to run bbcb from terminal. There are few global variables need to be set before start of GUI version.
To see this code look for cat /usr/bin/bbcb

Code: Select all

ivan@dell:~$ cat /usr/bin/bbcb 
#!/bin/sh
pd="/usr/lib/blackbox"
sd=`readlink -f .`
# fix Ubuntu-specific problems:
unset UBUNTU_MENUPROXY
unset GTK_MODULES
export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0
# export LD_DEBUG=all
env \
	BB_PRIMARY_DIR="${pd}" BB_SECONDARY_DIR="${sd}" \
	"${pd}"/blackbox

Please try this new package:
http://oberon.molpit.com/packs/bbcb_1.7~a1.8_i386.deb
http://oberon.molpit.com/packs/bbcb_1.7~a1.8_amd64.deb

It has nice dialog for open and save the files.

Controls like edit fields, checkboxes etc. are still in bad condition. Also big issue is clipboard for export text from BlackBox to other apps. However the most of BlackBox subsystems work well.
