src2pkg install problem

gnashley · 07-03-2010, 08:35 AM

Do you have tar-1.13? I forgot to mention that you need tar-1.13 for pkgtools(installpkg) to work correctly. Not having it may cause improper installation of packages.

Hello gnashley,

No, I have tar 1.20 installed on my system.

I have to look where tar-1.13 can be found.

You can just plug it out from a Slackware 'tar' package,

and copy the executable 'tar-1.13' to /bin/

..

charlie_lab · 07-03-2010, 08:54 AM

Oke,

So I can have both tar-1.13 and tar 1.20

Yes , that's how it works in Slackware.

The tar command will use 'tar' (version 1.2x)
Pkgtool, src2pkg etc. will use "/bin/tar-1.13"

..
EDIT : Sorry, it's /bin/tar-1.13
..

charlie_lab · 07-03-2010, 10:23 AM

Oke,

No problem.
I installed tar-1.13 and named it so.
But still the same problems.

Can it be the problem that libsentry is not installed.
And where can I find the right one.
I found one but it won't install because of readline problems.

The first thing happening, when you install src2pkg,
is this message : creating libsentry.
( Later comes : Creating tar-1.13.)

So actually, I don't know, what's going on.
I use src2pkg everywhere. CentOS, Fedora etc.
Always works.

charlie_lab · 07-03-2010, 02:44 PM

Oke,

And before it crearing libsentry I got this error message

Hopefully gnuashely knows what went wrong.

What is the exact error message you are getting? And when do you see it?(when you first run 'src2pkg --setup'??)

charlie_lab · 07-05-2010, 12:34 AM

Hoi,

Error message:

Code:

I see this after i did installpkg src2pkg-2.2-noarch-3.tgz and then src2pkg --setup.

Well, the error on line 580 meant that the system couldn't find the mkdir program in any of:

/bin
/usr/bin
/usr/local/bin
/usr/libexec/src2pkg/bin

What do you get when you run the command "type mkdir" on your system?

charlie_lab · 07-05-2010, 03:08 AM

Hello,

type mkdir

mkdir is /tools/bin/mkdir

And my path is this :
/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin

So mkdir can be found within the path.

/tools/bin is a non-standard path which is not searched for. The routine in question ignores the PATH -there is a godd reason for that.

I'm sure that mkdir is supposed to be in /bin or /usr/bin on a POSIX system, so copying your version from /tools/bin to /bin and then linking it in /usr/bin should fix the problem.

You might do well to keep notes about what your are doing to finish your basic development and runtime installation for future use -you may still be missing some basic stuff since you've built from scratch.

charlie_lab · 07-05-2010, 10:49 AM

Oke,

Dit werkt nu alleen kan src2pkg --setup nog steeds libsentry niet vinden terwijl die gewoon in de temp dir te vinden is.

Hmmm, My Dutch is not too great, but you seem to be saying that some directory is not being found.After installing the src2pkg package, do you have the directory /usr/src/src2pkg/src2pkg-helpers ?
If so, you should be able to build src2pkg-helpers by opening a terminal and running the command 'src2pkg --setup' as root.
