Hi, there. I’m a Scrivener user on Mac OS and love it. I also love Linux Mint, and am running Linux Mint 14 - Cinnamon - on an intel i5-based machine. I’m having trouble getting Scrivener installed, which may be because I wasn’t successful in getting one of the beta Linux releases installed last night. I have removed all traces of that install, I think, but still can’t get 1.2.6 to go.
I tried to post on the 1.2.6 thread, but I’m getting no response and not sure what I can do next.
Here’s the output from the installation proces:
[code]Code: Select all

Scrivener-beta1.7beta-9 and Scrivener.desktop no longer exist on this machine, to the best of my knowledge, yet I can’t get past these errors to get 1.2.6 installed. Please let me know what I should try next. I really want to run this on my Linux box! Thanks!
(P.S. When one registers for this forum, there is an option for “Mac + Windows” and “Linux + Windows” as one’s platforms of choice, but there isn’t one for “Mac + Linux.” There should be, because I would have chosen it. Thank you!)
