Problem installing XFree86 4.2
I've got a problem installing XFree86 4.2. When I run the install script XInstall.sh the following message appears:
Welcome to the XFree86 4.2.0 installer You are strongly advised to backup your existing XFree86 installation before proceeding. This includes the /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11 directories. The installation process will overwrite existing files in those directories, and this may include some configuration files that may have been customised. If you are installing a version different from 4.2.0, you may need an updated version of this installer script. Do you wish to continue? (y/n) [y] Checking which OS you're running... uname reports 'Linux' version '2.2.19', architecture 'i686'. Object format is 'ELF'. libc version is '6.1.3' (6.1). Xinstall.sh: ./extract : Permission denied extract doesn't work properly, renaming it to 'extract.bad' ln : cannot create hard link 'extract' to 'extract.exe' : operation not permitted chmod: extract : No such file or directory Xinstall.sh : ./extract No such file or directory extract.exe doesn't work properly, renaming it to 'extract.exe.bad' The versions of 'extract' and 'extract.exe' you have do not run' correctly. Make sure that you have downloaded the correct binaries for your system. To find out which is correct, run 'sh Xinstall.sh -check'. When you have corrected the problem, please re-run 'sh Xinstall.sh' to proceed with the installation. ------------------------- Why can't I create a hardlink? I've already checked the required files and I'm using the correct ones! |

I've also done the installation manually with the folowing commands:
chmod +x extract rm -f gnu-tar ln extract gnu-tar After entering the ln command he says that he cannot create a hard link, but I'm logged in as root with the su command. Or do I have to login as root from the beginning? |
I've already solved the problem. I was using the chmod command on files on fat32 filesystem and that doesn't work!
