Installscript broken? Gzip error

[lucasvo]

Hi,

I have followed the procedures described in the wiki. (dowloaded the mce cd, installed the installer package) but when I tried to run the installer no window appeared, it ended immediatly.

I looked at the installer script and modified it so that it gives me more output. The result was the following:

Code:

root@lama:/root/# /usr/share/mce-installer/mce-installer.sh

Linux MCE Installer Starting ... please wait


gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
./mce-installer: error while loading shared libraries: liboobs-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Here are my modifications:

Code:

$ cat /usr/share/mce-installer/mce-installer.sh
#!/bin/bash

#exec &>/dev/null </dev/null
export DISPLAY=:0
echo ""
echo "Linux MCE Installer Starting ... please wait"
echo ""
...

Thanks for your help!

what version of ubuntu are you using?

[lucasvo]

feisty fawn. But I don't thin that this error only occurs on feisty fawn.

[sharlee_angelo]

mce installer is compiled on ubuntu edgy eft with an older version of liboobs, 1.2 i think.feisty fawn has 1.3. one solution could be downgrading liboobs. another solution is creating a symlink like this: ln -s liboobs-1.so.3 liboobs-1.so.2 ins /usr/lib.

Thanks! It worked. I'm currently running the installer.
