wrecked_porsche Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hi guys I have a problem, I need some suggestions from all the experts and those who have experience in Linux. Before we go any further, I just wanna say a big THANK YOU to you guys for taking the time to help me out. I truly appreciate the help. I'm a total newbie to this so any help you guys can give me would be great! Right, I ran into a problem when trying to install BlueCat Linux. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.1. My problem is this: root@sanjeev-desktop:/tmp# cd /opt/BlueCat root@sanjeev-desktop:/opt/BlueCat# /tmp/install Installation directory must be empty install: terminating root@sanjeev-desktop:/opt/BlueCat# /bin/ls: cannot access *: No such file or directory Could you guys tell me why I'm getting this error and how I can resolve it please? I've already set all the relevant folder permissions to rwx and I'm using sudo passwrd. If you guys want, I can post everything I typed in the terminal. :confused_face: Thanks a bunch guys! I really appreciate the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBLoudG20 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I don't understand what you are trying to do. Why call /bin/ls? What directory will BlueCat be installed to? Do you have a link for installation instructions, since I have no exposure with BlueCat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrecked_porsche Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 That's the problem, /bin/ls, I didn't call it, the installation seems to be calling it and then it tells me the directory is not empty... Give me a few minutes and I'll get the installation instructions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrecked_porsche Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 BlueCat Installation 1. Copy /mnt/cdrom/BlueCat_i386 and all its subdirectories to, for example, /tmp. 2. Move "install" from /tmp/BlueCat_i386 to /tmp. 3. cd /opt/BlueCat. 4. Execute /tmp/install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBLoudG20 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Seems like an error in their install scripts. Man their documentation blows. I don't know, contact them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 so you've done steps 1 and 2 already? It looks like you're starting step 4 from / instead of /opt/BlueCat Try this : mv /opt/BlueCat /opt/BlueCat.broken_ferrari mkdir /opt/BlueCat cd /opt/BlueCat bash -x /tmp/install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrecked_porsche Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 @Jason, you had a look at their documentation? Yeah, it sucks, no help there. I tried emailing them, so far no reply. @grawk, yup, done steps 1 and 2. When I did this: root@sanjeev-desktop:/opt/BlueCat# /tmp/install It means I'm already in the "/opt/BlueCat" directory and I'm trying to execute the "install" file located in "/tmp" right? That's what their instructions told me to do... What does "bash -x" do? Thanks for trying to help me figure this out guys. I really appreciate the help.

grawk Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 bash -x shows the commands the install script runs as it runs them. Just try exactly what I said do, and let me know what it tells you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBLoudG20 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 is install not executable? perform a ll on /tmp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrecked_porsche Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 How do I do a 'll' and what is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 so /tmp/install is a binary file. Just do /tmp/install from /opt/BlueCat, you won't get the debugging information, but maybe now that you've reset /opt/BlueCat it'll work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBLoudG20 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 How do I do a 'll' and what is that? ll is 'listlong' its equivalnt to ls -l.. sorry that my habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
