[Urgent][SOLVED] Installing from an RPM binary

varl · 2007-11-05 13:19:18

Hi,

A new course I am taking published the requirements today, and I saw that there was a Marratech (http://www.marratech.com/) meeting scheduled today, as an introduction, and all they supply is an RPM.

I searched around the forums, and found that rpmunpack + gunzip gives me a directory tree with where it's supposed to install (I'm assuming this).
I ran:

$ rpmunpack Marratech-6.1.i586.rpm
$ gunzip < Marratech-6.1-956.cpio.gz | cpio -ivd

But now I'm sitting here with:

$ cd usr/local/marratech/Marratech6.1/..
   bin/        copyright/  jre/        lib/

I assume that I can copy this directory to the root (/) and have it work, but I want to be able to remove this piece of shit as soon as the course is completed. I do not know how to build a PKGBUILD, and I'm too much of a neat-freak to play around with it without knowing what I'm doing.

Please, help me. I need this installed and running in 2 hours and 40 minutes, and I've already spent more than 4 hours trying to find a solution that I could apply.

try dumping the "marratech" directory in /opt so you can remove it easily and cleanly. The binary is in the bin/ dir, so you should be able to run that at the command line.

Good luck.

The application doesn't run when placed in /opt/marratech/Marratech6.1/bin/.
I set the permission to: chmod -R 755 marratech, and it seems to match those set on mozilla and java, so it should work to start the application, but I don't even get an error message when I run "Marratech" or "./Marratech" from the bin/ folder. It just drops me on the next line in the shell.

Here is an strace on the application binary:

Trying to force the application to launch with javaws and I get errors:
General:

An error occurred while launching/running the application.

Could not parse launch file. Error at line 0.

Launch file:

#!/bin/sh

So, from what I can gather it wants to be in /usr/local/ and have it's binary in /bin/. Needless to say, I don't see eye to eye with this notion ... Maybe I can install and run the Windows version in Wine, at least there it would be contained to that folder.

You can find a PKGBUILD for rpm in the AUR. Maybe you can install rpm, use rpm to install this package, then you can use rpm to remove the package again when you've finished and then uninstall rpm.

Just edit the launch file so that INSTALL_DIR=/opt/marratech/Marratech6.1

Thank you, that worked.

And now I feel stupid.
The simplest way is always the best.

Now Marratech is in AUR.
