Cisco packet Tracer

kujirasan · 03-10-2011, 04:56 PM

Hi there;
I tried to install CiSCO's Packet Tracer on Fedora 14, though it went thought all stags on installation, it did now show up, any one has had any measure of success installing it?

Seems it is much easier to run the Windows version using Wine!
Any help well be much appreciated. Thanking you all

Have you tried running it from the command line?

Yes, I have typed the following:
packettracer

followed by enter, but just gives bad command.
PacketTracer53_(fedora)i386_installer-rpm.rar This one may install better than the binary, but this (fedora) gives error messages, and it it is deleted, it is nor recognised, the one who packaged it must exceptionally bright, even when uraring it the same thing happens,
PacketTracer53_(fedora)i386_installer-rpm.bin
PacketTracer53_(fedora)i386_installer-rpm.rar
Any idea how to deal with these ones?

How exactly did you install it?

kujirasan · 03-12-2011, 05:17 PM

just typed ./install, it went trough the installation by itself, didn't do make or config ,

Did you install as root?

You can run

Code:

 locate packettracer

or

Code:

 whereis packettracer

for more information about the installation of the software.

Hi, I did install as root,
The packettracer was in usr/bin, but then I installed the window one using wine, now when trying to locate it , using locate -i command with i for case sensitive, it gives two pages of useless info!
originally was here:
/usr/local/bin
actually there is one in bin directory, but i have tried running from there ,no hope, however it runs under wine.

So the executable file does exist. Run packettracer with its absolute route to the file "/usr/local/bin/packettracer" and post here exactly what it says.
