Hi Andy.

I'm unable to install XLP 3.18 on UBuntu 24.04 machine. XXE installs fine, but XLP does not. The messages I get ion the terminal say 

Part 2/6: install the Personal Edition of the XMLmind XML Editor
chown: missing operand after ‘/home/ian/Downloads/

and 

Part 3/6: install XLingPaper configuration files
chown: missing operand after ‘/.xxe7’

and

chown: missing operand after ‘/.xxe8’

and

Part 4/6: install texlive for XLingPaper files
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/texbinxlingpaper/i386-linux': File exists
Part 5/6: install XXE preferences
Part 6/6: install sample XLingPaper document
tar: /Documents: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Don't know why it looks like there is no file after ~/Downloads/ because that's where I extracted the install compressed file to. And maybe the error in Part 4/6 is because I haven't set up my system to run 32 bit programmes (?).

Could you give some pointers. Thanks very much.

Ian
