Still can't import scripts in Linux Mint

I'm using Calli+1 from 6-6-2016, and it still says:

Compiling failed.
No scripts were imported.

Has this been fixed in nightlies?

No, I didn't realize there was still a problem.

How did you install? From the .deb package? From the tarball? Compiled from source?

Can you run your copy of hspeak from the command line and see if it produces normal help output, which looks like this: http://pastebin.com/raw/xnhM6mSY

Installed via the .DEB package. I just typed 'hspeak' into the bash terminal and got the exact same output as your pastebin.

I figured out the problem. xterm was not installed. I tried launching ohrrpgce-custom from bash instead of Mint's desktop GUI, and noticed it was throwing this in the terminal window whenever I tried to import scripts:

sh: 1: xterm: not found

So I tried running xterm by itself and it said it wasn't installed, so I apt-get'd it and now it's working. Yay! Worth noting for users of any distros that don't come with xterm already installed.

Ah, yes. I should probably add xterm as a dependency for the deb package.

Thank you for spotting that :)

Does this mean I need to add xterm as a dependency to the AUR package as well?

Wow. I didn't know that Unices without xterm existed, and I've heard other people claim it's installed everywhere. I guess we could fallback to something else, but it's much easier to just make xterm a requirement.

I found the previous thread where you mentioned a problem; it's here. You didn't respond so I forgot about it.

It's possible that I messed up my installation of it somehow - this is Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon, 64-bit. I'll try to boot a default live USB of Mint sometime tomorrow and see if xterm is in it by default. If it is, then that means I did somehow remove xterm while "apt-get remove"ing something else and its dependencies at some point.

I'm not so surprised that some linux distros don't have xterm; they're missing many other things that I consider essential.
