That's news to me.

It works here without any modifications at all.

As I already posted, I downloaded chromium from his site but I would not run on my system

I'm not sure what kind of help you expect to receive when you make vague statements like, "it would not run" or "it has a glitch".

If you want help, you need to provide more detail. At this point, you still haven't said what happens when you run the SlackBuild for Chrome (which I have not had any trouble with, on three different computers and several versions each).

Well, I downloaded chromium from alien bob's site. I went to the location on my system where the software, i. e., chromium is located, /usr/bin/chromium, I typed in the command "chromium" and received the following messages:

/usr/bin/chromium: line 16: /usr/lib64/chromium/chromium: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
/usr/bin/chromium: line 16: /usr/lib64/chromium/chromium: Successl

Despite the second message, chromium is not running on my system.
thanks for your reply, jwc

I put both the required .deb file (google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.de) and the slackbuild in the same directory, i. e. chrome-install,, I then ran the google-chrome.SlackBuild
command and got the following response:

ar: /home/jwc/chrome-install/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb: No such file or directory
xz: (stdin): File format not recognized
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now.
Thanks for your reply, jwc

Are you trying to install a 64-bit chromium/chrome on a 32-bit operating system? What does 'uname -m' tell you?

jwc1936 01-09-2023 11:25 AM

followup: I copied the .deb file to the name that the slackbuild file was looking for and indeed the google-chrome.txz file was created.
Thanks for your help

Beware : as Petri Kaukasoina says, it looks like you are not so careful wether you choose 32 or 64 bits flavor of Slackware.

Slackware is one of the rare distro that still ships 32bits isos and software. Unless a package tells 'noarch', it is i?86 for 32bits or x86_64 for 64bits. Wich you do not want to mix.
