Re: Asking for help with Phix program under Linux

I ran Mint 18.1 from live DV.
However, I could not run or compile your hypatia program, because I got an error immediately. It's in line 41 of rsinput.e which calls:
scrn = video_config()
So... to test video_config(), I wrote a little program:
puts(1,"Video Config Test\n") object screen = video_config() ? screen
Video Config Test
/home/irv/phix/builtins/pscreen.e:144 in procedure initI()
attempt to divide by 0
... called from /home/irv/phix/phix/builtins/pscreen.e:346 in function video_config()
x = <novalue>
y = <novalue>
mx = <novalue>
my = <novalue>
res = <novalue>
xCSBI = <novalue>
... called from /home/irv/phix/phix/vc.ex:2
So ... there appears to be a problem with pscreen.e, since I get this same error whether running on old or new Linux versions. It prevents me from going any further with your program.
The Linux version I used is: https://mirror2.sandyriver.net/pub/mint-packages/dists/serena/
