Socket

I follow the post to install Io on my Ubuntu 14.04.

Io example code from "Seven language in Seven Weeks":

futureResult := URL with("http://bing.com/") @fetch
writeln("Do something immediately while fetch goes on in background...")

writeln("This will block until the result is available.")

writeln("fetched ", futureResult size, " bytes")

I have followed post:Io Language Addons (and making them work in Ubuntu) to fix addon issue of Io.

Running following command to fix most addon issues:

sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake libreadline-dev libssl-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev zlib1g-dev libpcre3-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg62-dev python-dev libpng12-dev  libjpeg62-dev libmysqlclient-dev libmemcached-dev libtokyocabinet-dev libsqlite3-dev libdbi-dev libpq-dev libgmp3-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libtaglib-cil-dev libtag1-dev libtheora-dev libsamplerate0-dev libloudmouth1-dev libsndfile1-dev libflac-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev libxml2-dev libyajl-dev uuid-dev liblzo2-dev zlib1g-dev

sudo apt-get install libtiff4-dev libtiff5-dev

Restart Ubuntu.

Anyway, above example works.

$ io future.io
Do something immediately while fetch goes on in background...
This will block until the result is available.
fetched 80454 bytes

Answer 2

This is what worked for me.

1. Grabbed the dependencies from @Amitabha's post:

   sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake libreadline-dev libssl-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev zlib1g-dev libpcre3-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg62-dev python-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg62-dev libmysqlclient-dev libmemcached-dev libtokyocabinet-dev libsqlite3-dev libdbi-dev libpq-dev libgmp3-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libtaglib-cil-dev libtag1-dev libtheora-dev libsamplerate0-dev libloudmouth1-dev libsndfile1-dev libflac-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev libxml2-dev libyajl-dev uuid-dev liblzo2-dev zlib1g-dev

   sudo apt-get install libtiff4-dev libtiff5-dev

2. Downloaded .deb file from io homepage or iobin. Choose x86deb or x64deb according to your ubuntu installation.

3. Extract the zip file (unzip <zipfile>)
4. sudo dpkg -i <file.deb>
5. sudo ldconfig. ReadMe suggests this.
6. Run io

Good luck
