Hi Johan,

Unfortunately the actual names of the packages vary across distros, so I can't only warn about the generic package name. People will have to figure out what that actually means on their favourite distro.

I'm not sure what your git package fail is. Try removing it completely from /opt/ltib/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/ and re-try. If that fails you need to look at why the directory bld is empty or unreadable (as seen in your output):

    (cd blt && tar cf - .) |

BTW: please feel free to send patches to improve the project. You may be the first on Mint (I've never tried).

Regards, Stuart

Hi Stuart,

Thanks for your reply. I'm a few steps further now, but ltib is not working yet. See below.

The wget command works, and produces exactly the expected output, so network connectivity seems fine. Also, I know I am not behing a proxy.

Anyway, I have installed libwww-perl and the initial messages have disappeared. Also, the rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz error has disappeared.

The next error was that the 'flex' command was not found, so I have done `sudo apt-get install flex' as well, and manually removed /opt/ltib/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/lkc-1.4 before retrying. Shouldn't a check for flex have been included earlier in the ltib script?

Anyway,  I tried again,  and now I get the following error for the git:

As a side note, ltib initially complained about a number of missing packages, including ncurses-devel and zlib-devel. However, 'apt-get install ncurses-devel' and 'apt-get install zlib-devel' cannot find these packages (in the default Mint repositories). It took me some time to figure out that libncurses5-dev and zlib1g-dev provide the required functionality. Would it be a good idea to include this information in the ltib output, so that other first-time installers don't loose time?

Regards,  Johan

    Hi Johan,

    The warnings mean that ltib can't test whether or not
    proxies/networking is available.

    I suspect from your error: "Can't get: rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz at ./ltib
    line 834".
    you have network connectivity problem.

    To check this, on the machine you're running ltib, make sure you
    can run:

    wget -q -O - bitshrine.org/gpp/rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz.md5
    <http://bitshrine.org/gpp/rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz.md5>

    It should show: b92c46d5add17d6edff235d776cc1af3  rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz

    If that doesn't work you don't have Internet access.  That means
    you may need to configure the .ltibrc if you're behind a proxy.

    Ideally you should install the missing HTTP::Request::Common and
    LWP::UserAgent Perl modules, these should be in libwww-perl, so:
    sudo apt-get install libwww-perl

    Regards, Stuart

    Hi,

    I'm trying to install ltib on Linux Mint 1.6,  but no succes: the
    error is "Can't get: rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz at ./ltib line 834".

    This is the first time that I am trying to use LTIB. I did the
    following:

    cvs -z3
    -d:pserver:[email protected]:/sources/ltib co -P ltib
    cd ltib
    ./ltib

    Output is:

    Don't have HTTP::Request::Common
    Don't have LWP::UserAgent
    Cannot test proxies, or remote file availability without both
    HTTP::Request::Common and LWP::UserAgent

    Installing host support packages.

    This only needs to be done once per host, but may take up to
    an hour to complete ...

    If an error occurs, a log file with the full output may be found in:
    /home/johan/ltib/host_config.log

    If you would like to see the log messages as the host packages
    are built and
    installed:

       * Open another terminal in the same directory
       * Run the command: tail -f host_config.log
       * When you're done with the tail, use CTRL+C to exit

    Exiting on error or interrupt
    Please see >> /home/johan/ltib/host_config.log for details


    I don't understand the first four lines (about HTTP and LWP);  is
    this related?

    Here are the contents of host_config.log:
