Short answers: yes, we all use ubuntu and flavors thereof. there are maybe a dozen or so dependencies; I thought they were clearly spelled out in the README's. Yes, I suppose it might take a while to install. The ocpkg is supposed to simplify that.

On the other hand, its kind of like an entrance exam: if you can't jump over the first hurdle, you will fall over the next one, and there are many hurdles. Some companies do this to new-hires: the boss says "here's your new computer. Come back in a week when you're done installing" and it you can't do it in a week, they get worried. If you do it in a day, they start asking questions.

There are many docker files in various states of disrepair.

Opencog is not one thing: it has many parts/pieces.  The atomspace is a foundational piece, most things are built on top of it. Work through the examples/tutorials in the /examples directory.

Just looked it up thanks. So are you using ubuntu? It just seems like I always have to go get something to make something work then have to get something to make that work and on and on. Just installed Docker and I guess I need another terminal program to go with that...

I will try those scrips in my ubuntu vm and see if that works. It just sounded like open cog was currently set up to work with Docker best?

Thanks for helping, I really appreciate it. I have been excited about open cog for a long time and have finally committed to it. There is so much I want to do with it.

This error has nothing to do with opencog. This error means that your development environment is borked somehow.

Please make sure that you are using a properly-installed, clean Linux installation.  If you logged in as root, and fiddled various files by hand, and copied random stuff from off the internet into root directories, you will be hosed for life. You have to have a clean, standard, non-modified, non-hacked version of Linux for this stuff to work.  Avoid the temptation to hand-patch and work around bugs. Down that path lies only madness.

I did get quite a way with the manual install but ran into some Ubuntu stuff that was missing that I was trying to track down. I'll get this bad boy going though. XD

My experience is that most reliable way of building and testing opencog is using `opencog/opencog-deps` and `opencog-postgres`  docker images. Such setup guarantees that results of the tests are equal to the CircleCI ones. Unfortunately setting up it for the first time can be a bit tricky if you are not experienced docker user.

Ha. Basically the conclusion I just arrived at before reading this. Ok, next step scrap current install and start over.
