I am looking for a Visual Basic programming IDE program. I have already tried gambas2 but I really need something where I can program in Visual Basic not just something like it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like "Mono" just compiles existing VB source code so that it will run on Linux. I was really looking for something where I could write my own code. Something like gambas2 but one that uses real Visual Basic.

Visual Basic is a real Microsoft thing. Microsoft generally doesn't allow any of their products to be licensed for Linux. I'm not at all sure that what you want even exists.

Perhaps kbasic can fit your needs? I don't know, I'm not much of a basic-head. Anyways, I remembered seeing this some time ago. http://kbasic.com/index.html |

Well from looking at the website, it looks like it's what I was looking for. Thanks! But... I downloaded the version for Linux from the website, installed it, clicked on the icon on the desktop... And nothing happened. I tried to run it from the terminal and got this error message:
error while loading shared libraries: libQtWebKit.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I looked on the website again and found the list of dependencies. The libQtWebKit.so.4 was one of them. I then looked in the repositories on Gslapt and found two different "Qt" libraries "Qt" and "Qt4". I am not sure which (if either) I need to get. Help?

That would be Qt4. You will probably need to do a symlink if the version number of the installed library is different, for example: ln -s /usr/lib/qt-4.5.0/lib/libQtWebKit.so.4.5.0 /usr/lib/qt-4.5.0/lib/libQtWebKit.so.4 |

So if the version number is different, I just type that line of code into a console?

Have you looked into Mono's .NET support? http://www.mono-project.com/VisualBasic.NET_supportAFAIK, there are no IDEs for VB in linux... you'll find a lot of clones and VB-like languages and IDE's, but not the real thing.. Another option to try would be some win IDE via wine. |

Yes, I looked at that but the KBasic thing appears to be close enough to VB for me to be able to use it. And now it looks like I just have to download that library to get it to work but I just want to make sure that if the version number is different I just need to type that line of code that rbistolfi gave me into the console to do the symlink. (see previous post) So is that all I need to do to make the symlink?

Ok, I downloaded the Qt4 library, tried to run KBasic again and again it didn't work so the version number is probably different. I looked on the KBasic website again and found that the libQtWebKit.so.4 is supposed to go in:
/usr/lib/libQtWebKit.so.4
Does that mean that it needs to be in a folder named libQtWebkit.so.4 in /usr/lib/ ? Right now it is in: /usr/lib/qt-4.4.1/lib/
In /usr/lib/qt-4.4.1/lib/ it has the shared library libQtWebKit.so.4.4.1 and two links to that library. The links are called libQtWebKit.so.4 and libQtWebKit.so.4.4
Help?

Are you executing the binary or are you building the source code?
if you build the source code, it should pick up the libs from the right place.

daniel, you could put in a request to have kbasic built for VL6. There is a package request forum for purposes such as this. Most times the requests are answered pretty quickly, but it comes down to the volunteers available time. FWIW.
