running this bit of code on
Debian 64-bit Linux

void updateTable( ) {
 dataTable = new Table("http://benfry.com/writing/map/random.cgi");
}

I recieve the the below error

If I export the project as an application it works correctly on Debian it only gives me an error if I try to run it as a sketch

I have tried the same exact piece of code on windows and it works correctly from the sketchpad

Does any one know how to work around this? I hate having to use Windows for anything!
