problem installing module-init-tools

hcman · 2003-06-10 14:16:16

Trying to install module-init-tools-0.9.12 (so I can try the 2.5.70 kernel) yields this dissapointing output:

Is there anyone who has this working who can point me in the right direction?
(Sorry for the long output but I thought it may prove helpful).

I don't believe it's policy to support non-packaged programs, but it's your system .

Notice the line that says, '/usr/bin/install: No such file or directory'? That means that there is no file /usr/bin/install, probably because we have install in /bin/install. You can either fiddle with the Makefiles or make a symlink to /usr/bin/install (though, then your submitted packages may work while they don't work on other people's machines).

...live life on the edge...that's me! LOL

Making a symlink did the trick.
I'll try to edit the Makefile and see if can get that to work too before I submit this as a package.
Oh, and of course I have to figure out how make a package in the first place.

So....I guess I should go do some reading eh?

Thanks.

you can learn lots of stuff reading. it is making the time to do it that some people find challenging (me for example).

yeah you usually end up with a nicer system if you make a package for whatever it is you want to install.

Sometimes that is too much hassle though when you really need to install something fast. Then an option there is to just install it as you would on a non-packaged system, and make yourself a package later. Then when you install your newly made package it will over-write your unmanaged files, and will now keep track of them.

Once you have it setup as a package, it's much easier to upgrade or uninstall. All it usually takes is changing the version in the PKGBUILD file and running makepkg and it automatically builds you the newly released version as a package.

Hapy.

sarah31: very true; I have learned so much by reading man pages and by just browsing forum threads.

hApy: you make a good point. Also a big advantage would be to back up those personalized packages (for example mplayer compiled with some codec support) and reinstall them easily if needed.

I'll look into that.
