Hello,
Using 64-bit debian sarge version 2.22.3when ever I attempt to
call anything from the internet I recieve the error bellow. This does not
happen to me when on other platforms and also if I turn the sketch into an
application it will successfully connect to an internet web site.

This was the piece of code that gives me a problem and the program itself
is from Ben Fry's book
Visualizing Information
void updateTable( ) {
dataTable = new Table("http://benfry.com/writing/map/random.cgi");
}
