LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Tuxguitar 1.4 won't start

- Slackware (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/)

Tuxguitar 1.4 won't start

Installed Tuxguitar 1.4 from SBopkg and it won't open. I'm running Slackware 14.2 and have openjdk-8u121_b13-i486-1alien.txz also installed for the jdk depend.

Here is my terminal output.

bash-4.3$ tuxguitar
Error: Could not find or load main class org.herac.tuxguitar.app.TGMainSingleton
bash-4.3$

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Regards,
Robert

hi unohu62,

I just tried it here and it seems to work fine either with openjdk from Alien Bob and jdk from SBo: have you, by any chance, logged out and logged in again after having installed your jdk flavour? it's required for the necessary files in /etc/profile.d/ to be loaded...

Yes, I tried logging out and back in, restarting my laptop. No dice!

I just installed it on one of my systems, works fine here. I saw there is a 32 bit version, and a 64 bit source version. Are you sure you installed the version that matches your system?

FWIW, I have

Quote:

jdk-8u121-x86_64-1_SBo

installed.

what does the command

Code:

grep jar$ /var/log/packages/tuxguitar*

outputs?

Yeppers 32-bit installed.

ok, I just tried it on 32-bit and have replicated the problem: report it to the maintainer (you can find his email on SBo).
I suspect this happens because he might have hardcoded some 64bit paths when he updated it, see https://slackbuilds.org/cgit/slackbu...353f0e35368742

It doesn't look like anything is hardcoded to lib64 unless ARCH is x86_64. The SlackBuild contains an if\then statement to check for x86_64, then it will change the items to lib64.

However, there are some other items that are hardcoded within that if/then that should probably be taken out.

It seems these should be run regardless of the ARCH.

yes, I read the commit very fast and missed the if statement: I agree that the culprit might be that the block you point out should be taken out of it.

@Ponce grep jar$ /var/log/packages/tuxguitar* outputs this:

Try running the following as root and see if it fixes your program:

Code:

sed -i 's|./share/|/usr/share/tuxguitar/|g' /usr/bin/tuxguitar

sed -i 's|./dist/|/usr/share/tuxguitar/dist/|g' /usr/bin/tuxguitar

sed -i 's|"share/"|"/usr/share/tuxguitar/"|g' /usr/bin/tuxguitar

If it does, then the script would need to have this block of code:

Code:

# Manual install

mkdir -p $PKG/usr/bin

if [ "$ARCH" == "x86_64" ] ; then

  sed -i 's|/lib|/lib64|g' tuxguitar.sh

  sed -i 's|lib/|lib64/|g' tuxguitar.sh

  sed -i 's|./share/|/usr/share/tuxguitar/|g' tuxguitar.sh

  sed -i 's|./dist/|/usr/share/tuxguitar/dist/|g' tuxguitar.sh

  sed -i 's|\./lib64|/usr/lib64|g' tuxguitar.sh

  sed -i 's|\"share/\"|\"/usr/share/tuxguitar/\"|g' tuxguitar.sh

fi

install -m 0755 tuxguitar.sh $PKG/usr/bin/tuxguitar

changed to something like this:

Code:

# Manual install

mkdir -p $PKG/usr/bin



if [ "$ARCH" == "x86_64" ] ; then

  sed -i 's|/lib|/lib64|g' tuxguitar.sh

  sed -i 's|lib/|lib64/|g' tuxguitar.sh

  sed -i 's|\./lib64|/usr/lib64|g' tuxguitar.sh

fi



sed -i 's|./share/|/usr/share/tuxguitar/|g' tuxguitar.sh

sed -i 's|./dist/|/usr/share/tuxguitar/dist/|g' tuxguitar.sh

sed -i 's|\"share/\"|\"/usr/share/tuxguitar/\"|g' tuxguitar.sh



install -m 0755 tuxguitar.sh $PKG/usr/bin/tuxguitar

No joy! I appreciate all the help thus far.

Is it the same error?

I just pushed a fix in my branch (the bit in the "else" was needed), it will go in the main repository at the next update
