I started processing v4.1.2 for the first time and typed in the first example from the overview, i.e.
ellipse(50, 50, 80, 80);
and the message area immediately turns red and says `the function “ellipse(int, int, int, int)” does not exist’.
So I guess something about my installation isn’t right, although all I did was extract the tarball and run processing from the directory it created. The ~/sketchbook directory was created ok and there were no error messages upon startup.
Suggestions? I didn’t see this particular problem in “Troubleshooting”.

Yeah
Try to put size (660,660); before it?
If I do that, it says `The function “noLoop()” does not exist’?

I assume you downloaded the correct version for your operating system (windows/ Linux)
I downloaded the version for Ubuntu, and here’s the output of uname -a on my computer:
Linux tims-17Z990-R-AAS9U1 5.4.0-137-generic #154~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 10 16:58:20 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
And here’s my java --version output:
openjdk 17.0.5 2022-10-18
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 17.0.5+8-Ubuntu-2ubuntu118.04)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.5+8-Ubuntu-2ubuntu118.04, mixed mode, sharing)
Is it possible I need to set an environment variable to tell it where to find Processing’s libraries (even though they’re in the same directory as the executable)?
That’s possible, I really don’t know
Against the chance that there is someone out there who CAN help debug this issue, here’s the output of running the “processing” script with LOGGING=1:
