Hi there --

I am trying to install Tripwire 2.4.1.2 from source onto a Fedora Core 7 system. After untarring the package, I changed to the newly created tripwire directory as root.

According to the INSTALL file, I have run the configure and make scripts as root within the tripwire directory. Once that was done, I changed to the install directory. I did not make any changes to the install.cfg file. I then ran make install.

I then tried to run the install file within tripwire and its install subdirectory. I typed in 'accept' to continue, but in both cases the following error message appeared after I had done that:


What am I doing wrong, and what do I need to do to correct this and successfully install the application? Thanks.

This thread is more suitable in Software, and has been moved accordingly.

The installer notes say you should "Edit the settings in install/install.cfg and run "make install".". It doesn't say you should "make install" and *then* run the install.sh script. Any compelling reason for not following the developers instructions? BTW, why not install tripwire-2.4.1.1-1.fc7.i386.rpm?
