Just installed yesterday Ubuntu+BlitzMax. It works fine.
Once downloaded the 1.18 (and the update) just double click on the 'package' and it will be extracted where you want.
In my case I extracted directly on my desktop - now I have a folder called BlitzMax.
Same for the update. Double click and extract on the desktop. Then doubleclick on the icon blitzmax update - it will ask you to find the installation folder (in my case /Desktop/BlitzMax) and click OK.
To compile program just follow this link http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=54592
- it works perfectly.
For installing the gfx driver (needed if don't want to play at 2/3 FPS per second via software-emulation...) I get this script http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html ENVY that allow you to install the driver and configure it automatically!
