i'm trying to follow the install instructions on this website.

http://www.freebyte.com/linux/libraries/

-----

Download
The libraries needed to run Freebyte's software for Linux are contained inside kylixlibs3-borqt-3.0-2.tar.gz (2453 Kb). Please click here to download.
Alternative download location: kylixlibs.sourceforge.net.

Installation
After unpacking the .tar.gz archive, run "./install.sh" and the necessary libraries will be installed into the directory /usr/lib/kylix3.

-----

sounds simple enough. i extracted the tar.gz file into its folder... i assume that is considered "unpacking" as used in the above instructions. so far, so good.

it then says to run "./install.sh". i move to the directory where i extracted (unpacked) the file and i typed "./install.sh" and "./install.sh kylixlibs3-borqt".

i get the following error...

bash: ./install.sh: No such file or directory

what did i do wrong since the instructions obviously rely on one having a level of expertise above my own.

tia...

What exactly is the software your trying to install? Thats just a library for other stuff.

hjsplit. i can't install it w/o this library being installed first and, as posted, i can't install the library b/c following the site instructions does not work.

i know the site *assumes* i know something else, but i don't know what it assumes i know.

I think you downloaded the wrong package then, i downloaded it and was able to do it just fine.
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/k...ar.gz?download

make sure you download and extract that file

heres a little script that will do it for you:

mos, thanks. i noticed your scripted differed from the instructions.

you have "sh ./install.sh" and the instructions had "./install.sh". here's hoping i get your script to work since the instructions didn't work.

i'll look into bash since i'm, well, a GNewbie. it is probably related to bash, but how do you run this script? do you save it as a file with a designated extension and then run the file from the command line?

again, thanks for the help.

the sh was just a precaution, it was not entirely needed.

save that as a file with the extension .sh then do the command: chmod a+x filename

could this be a root issue? i wasn't logged in as root. come to think of it, this is likely the problem - and i should've known this even though i have ZERO practice installing stuff on linux except via synaptic.

my bad... i was trying to run install.sh from the directory above where the program resided. when i extracted, it created an additional directory. once i got into the right directory, i saw the file and installed it as per the instructions. it was my error.

so, i got that kylix installed fine. now i'm following the instruction for hjsplit and i've hit a dead end.

instructions:

Installation:
(1) First download and install the CLX library, which is needed to run this program. The CLX library can be found on http://www.freebyte.com/linux/libraries. [done, verified files are set up in /usr/lib]
If you already have this library installed, you can skip this step.
(2) Copy HJSplitLX to some location on your harddisk [copied to /usr/bin]
(3) Start HJSplit for Linux with ./HJSplitLX [navigated to /usr/bin and verified the "HJSplitX" is there. i input "./HJSplitLX" into a root terminal and get the following error:

./HJSplitLX: symbol lookup error: ./HJSplitLX: undefined symbol: initPAnsiStrings

does anyone have an idea what i'm doing wrong here?

Hey GNewbie I also have the same problem. Have got the lib installed where it belongs and got HJSplitLX unpacked and nothing happens when I try to run it in Gnome but get the same error message when I try to run it in console mode. Have sent email to freebyte.com but no reply from them in over a week or more.
Hey let me know when you get a fix for it and I'll do the same for you.

this is very frustrating. i messed up when i install kylix bc i didn't do so as root. obviously, it wasn't installed. this time i switched over as root and installed it and there were actually files in the /usr/lib.kylix3 folder this time.

when i try to run hjsplitlx, though, i get an error.

if i go to the hjsplit folder and type in

HJSplitLX

i get the following error:

HJSplitLX: symbol lookup error: HJSplitLX: undefined symbol: initPAnsiStrings

if i type in

./HJSplitLX

i get the following error:

./HJSplitLX: symbol lookup error: ./HJSplitLX: undefined symbol: initPAnsiStrings

do i need to restart something?

i gather from here:

http://www.tobias-schwarz.net/progra...stall_enu.html

If you run xwebalizer and get the error message 'symbol lookup error: xwebalizer: undefined symbol: initPAnsiStrings' these libraries are missing. In this case you should download them here and unpack the files to the '/lib' directory.

that the issue is one of libraries. it doesn't see the library. in general, when you install libraries, do you need to restart x or the computer?

this is not a new problem... i shoulda googled the error immediately.

the answer is illusive, but my bet is that some library is *assumed* installed and isn't.

the answer was to go with the java version.

i will try that next...

...okay, got the java versioninstalled and i am currently joining a file. ha ha! one less reason to hit my winxp partition!

you download the program here:

http://www.freebyte.com/download/hjsplit/hjsplit_g.jar

you go to the directory where the program resides and type in:

java -jar hjsplit_g.jar

it will then run. of course, i didn't find any instructions from freebyte to get the thing running, but i did find them on another forum.

best of luck.

ps - i do notice some slowness (stopness) of my computer when joining files. it is a small price to pay, though, since i don't join much.

I checked Freebyte again and looked over the info on HJSplitLX and noticed something about lxsplit and GTKlxsplit a GUI for lxsplit. so I downloaded both and ran the make, make install following the readme/install notes and I was able to run the command line version without any problem and it's fast (lxsplit -j filename.ext.001).

The only problem I had was with the "make" for gtksplit, had several errors. I'm going to get that GUI working only to make my life a bit lazier <Grin> but I hope this helps. Atleast I was able to get all of my split files joined so now I can work on them and finish my projects.

did you ever get the gui version worked out?

i'm trying on another system and i go an "unexpected symbol" error when trying to isntall the Kylix library. i think the library is installed, at least partially (checked paths and they exist), however, when i run "./HJSplitLX" at the commandline i get nadda, zip, zero, zilch of a response.

i run this from inside the folder where HJSplitLX resides.

i'm thinking this ought to be super simple, but it doesn't work on ubuntu this time and nobody else seems to have posted a solution on the net.
