PySol

English Games
#1

Resently I tried to install Pysol which is a collection of solitaire games. I installed it through YaST and it seemed to download and install correctly but when I click on the PySol icon nothing happens. So if anyone could help me with this issue it would be greatly appreciated. -Clinton

Clinton,

first step, check the command in the .desktop file and run it manually from a console. That should show some errors.

i would like to kindly recommend uninstallation of pysol & then installation of pysolFC. (fan club edition). it is newer & has many more games.

#4

installing PysoFC is not an option.
it only allows playing the startup “Klondike”. if you choose any other game it crashes. does this in all distros i have tried.
i have tried many of the solutions found on the net but none have yet to work.
after all this time there should be a fix.

PySol worked great for me in ver 10.3 But will not run in ver. 11.1. When I attempt to start it all I get is the bouncing cursor. And that just goes away after a bit. I tried it from the command line and got the following feedback -

gary@linux-unxh:~> pysol

import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError: libtk8.5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this problem. I am a newbie to Linux - trying to climb the learning curve.

Thanks - Gary
