Does anybody know, please, why Freecell, for one, will not run in 12.1 even though it installs successfully and without any dependency problems?
Perhaps there is a version of Freecell for KDE (and NOT the one in kpat, thanks, which I consider to be primitive) which is not part of Aisleriot package? Anybody know?
[#] I am using KDE 4.7.3 (but it won't run even under the default KDE which comes with 12.1) and kernel 3.1.1 on a 32-bit system.

Hi I have a maintenance update in for this, have you installed guile (a missing requires)?
From the command line: sol --freecell or sol --name=freecell works for me on i586.
Hi Malcolm,
No I didn't know that quile was required and didn't have it installed. I have now installed it and...... I get an error message whenever I try to move a card, "A Scheme exception occurred. Please report bug to the developers" and when I click on Report nothing happens :-( .
But now that you have advised that you have an update in the pipeline I now live in hope and anticipation :-) . When do you think the "fix" will become reality?

Malcolm,
Is this of any help in pinpointing the problem?
