I am having a problem installing Xnview
running install fives this error in the install script.

Any ideas what I need to do?

root@RubinPC:/XnView-1.68-x86-unknown-linux2.x-static# ./install
OS : Linux, version 2.4.22
./install: line 26: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./install: line 26: ` uid=*(root)*)'

I am getting the same exact error on FC2.

Anybody have any solutions?

I had the same problem after running ./install, so I deleted the section of the install script from (and including) "case "'id'" in" to (and including) "esac", so that no reference to root was made, and then the install script worked. Using Mandrake 10.0

arubin is right.

1.become a root,


2. Remove from the install script :

case "`id`" in
uid=*(root)*)
;;
*)
echo "You must be root \!"
exit
esac


3. run ./install




the file will be in /usr/local/bin

I removed everything as described above, but still nothing happens: ./install results in "permission denied", and just install gives the same result as before. What's wrong?
I'm using mepis 3.3.1, KDE 3.4.2
