I have geany 0.13, which is the default version delivered with ubuntu 8.04. Actually, the intalled
version is called 0.13-0ubuntu1, so I suspect there is some modif to let it comply with the
distribution.
When I try to install geany 0.15, I get the following from ./configure:
configure:2990: error: C compiler cannot create executables
The last line of config.log is:
configure: exit 77

I use it only for python. <<clear && python "%f">> works fine, thank you.
