      I cannot install lr-mess on my Raspberry Pi 3. It compiles and everything, but it shows an error message.

        @NintendoFan64 You need to stop posting without providing information - this is getting very tiresome. Eg what error.

        However I probably do know the issue here, and currently you can't install lr-mess on the rpi3.

          The amount of times people ask you to READ this and provide more info etc and you seem to flat out ignore it astounds me.

            I cannot understand why you think people have psychic powers. I cannot understand why you keep ignoring people. I cannot understand, I cannot understand, please help?!?

                          I have upvoted your request to downvote yourself anyway.

                              Hi.

                              I'm new to the forum. I would have opened an issue on GitHub but they suggest to post here first. Here's the log after trying to install lr-mess:

                              It seems like the upstream project changed and the lr-mess.sh script needs to be updated. Can I open an issue on github for this?

                              Thanks

                                lr-mess won't work on Raspbian due to old gcc so we don't have a working mess currently for Raspbian.
