Platform: SPARC Solaris 8
I download and extracted the tar file .
I read the INSTALL file, then cd into the unix directory and run the
install script.
I specify my personal prefix for installing things. I accept the directory
for the binary files.
Note: In my environment, I do not have write permissions in the Python
directory, nor do I have root permissions, so I specify my own directory
for installing the python parser - hoping that appropriate changes would
be made to scripts to find it...
I accept the directory for the data and docs.
When I am asked if I wish to install pluck-comics, at first I say yes.
I am given a view of the configuration info, and asked if I want to
continue, and I say yes.
However, during the following process, the script fails with the message:
Compiling /volws/lwv26/ldatae/lib/python2.1/site-packages/PyPlucker/pluck-comics.py ...
gmake[2]: Leaving directory
`/ldatae/PilotBuilding/plucker/plucker-1.2/tools/pluck-comics'
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/ldatae/PilotBuilding/plucker/plucker-1.2/tools'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./install-plucker", line 153, in ?
os.symlink(os.path.join(MOD_DIR, "PyPlucker", "pluck-comics.py"),
os.path.join(BIN_DIR, "pluck-comics"))
OSError: [Errno 17] File exists
At this point, I have to go through all the same questions again, this
time indicating that I don't want the pluck-comics, just so I can get on
with the process. Note that the message isn't clear what
file exists, nor what I am supposed to do about it.
I start all over again, answering the questions the same, except I say
no to pluck-comics.
This time I get through all the python compiles, and reach the:
Do you want to run plucker-setup now? <y/n> [y]
question. I answer yes, update the 3 configure files, and get to:
Install the Palm applications on your Palm OS handheld? <y/n> [y]
I answer I want the english client.
I then get:
Install the ZLib library, too? <y/n> [y]
Install the User's Guide, too? <y/n> [y] n
Unable to bind to port /dev/pilot
pi_bind: No such file or directory
Installation Finished
Alas, now I have to go through all of this AGAIN, because the install
script didn't notice that the device wasn't present and prompt me for
the device to use.
So I set the environment variables needed, answer all the questions
yet again, and get things installed.
Just thought I would mention the 2 places where I 'got bit' by the
process in hopes that future updates might be able to make things even
smoother.
Thanks!
