Tripwire Debian Install

twantrd · 11-29-2003, 05:42 AM

Hi guys,

Having a little trouble installing tripwire 2.3.1-2. I have changed my config file "install.cfg" appropriately but when I ran 'install.sh' it gives me:

Verifying existence of binaries...

./bin/i686-pc-linux_r/siggen missing. Build did not complete successfully.

Am I missing a dependency? I'm installing this from source and using Debian Woody. THanks...

Hi,

Ok, I managed to get a little further and copied everything in my 'src' path to '/bin/i686-pc-linux_r/'. Now a new problem arises, the installation seemed pretty good until this error showed up:

Creating key files...
./install.sh: /usr/sbin/twadmin: No such file or directory
Error: site key generation failed

I have tried making a 'twadmin' directory/file in that path and that doesn't work. Anyone have an idea? THanks...

Might want to post what the problem was and how you solved it. It may help someone with a similar problem in the future.

You're using Debian. Why not use the debs? The version in sid is 2.3.1.2

Good idea Capt_caveman,

I downloaded the latest version of tripwire from sourceforge.net. The problem was that when you extracted the tag, there were no files in the /'bin' directory which caused all of my problems. I then went to tripwire.org and downloaded their open source tarball which is named 'tripwire-2.3-47.bin.tar.gz'. After extracting this, files and directories were now seen in the '/bin'. Then everything worked as a charm as described in the README files.

//moderator.note: not a security related problem, even though the application is security related. Your problem is with installing stuff on Debian. Moved to Linux - Debian.
