Yes, my shell is /bin/dash (the standard in Debian). But my shell
doesn't process that way because there is NOT /vmlinuz
nor /boot/vmlinuz in my system, but /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.39-3. I've
realized this after reading your mail.
This way [ -f /etc/debian_version ] (line 85) never is evaluated and
ARCH remains "unknown", hence SAVI is empty and SAVIBIN set to bin/SaVi.
TESTED. Soft-linking /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.39.3 to /boot/vmlinuz, the savi
package just as you provide it (aptitude reinstall savi) works.

Yes, it was only a quick and dirty solution not a real fix. But I
thought it was useful to locate the bug.

SaVi 1.4.5-2
I can confirm that the problem related to oogl files IS fixed, but
still depends on the existence of /vmlinuz or /boot/vmlinuz file to
start up. If that file MUST exist in a standard Debian installation
(I'm not sure, think of the multi-kernel systems) I should downgrade
the severity to whislist and retitle de bug report.

if [ ! ${ARCH} = "unknown" ]; then
SAVIBIN="${SAVI}/${SAVIBIN}"
here, on Debian, the $ARCH is "ubuntu", not "unknown", so it
*redefine* SAVIBIN.

This script get the directory which contains itself first,
stored in $SAVI.
But if do this job like you,
cd /usr/lib/savi; sh ./savi
the $SAVI will be just "." , then $SAVIBIN will be ./bin/SaVi
while if "sh /usr/lib/savi/savi"
$SAVI will be /usr/lib/savi
and then $SAVIBIN will be /usr/lib/savi/bin/SaVi
Was your shell processing these above correctly ?

and there is a side effect of your "cd xxx; sh ;"
It will change users PWD, it is offensive.
===
I will upload a new version to fix some other problems:
* put all files to /usr/share/savi except the ELF file.
* fix a problem that geomview cannot get oogl files.
This version may fix your problem, but I am not very sure about it,
so, I will not close this bug in changelog.
You can test it and if it did fix your problem, then we can close
it then.

Two ways:
Alone from the command line:
$~ savi
SaVi: did not attempt to launch a missing binary executable.
please note the home directory
Through Geomview
$~ geomview -run savi
SaVi: did not attempt to launch a missing binary executable.
At this point Geomview starts but SaVi doesn't.
Now, if I change from home directory to /usr/lib/savi Savi works
both ways.
Well, I think the bug is in the file /usr/lib/savi/savi, line 71.
The variable SAVIBIN is set to bin/SaVi which is only correct when
the working directory is /usr/lib/savi. Changing this line to
SAVIBIN=${SAVI}/bin/SaVi fix things for me.
Attached is a trace using the original /usr/lib/savi/savi file.

Package: savi Version: 1.4.5-1 Severity: grave Hi, When I try to start savi this is what you read: SaVi: did not attempt to launch a missing binary executable. After editing /usr/bin/savi and replacing sh /usr/lib/savi/savi $* with cd /usr/lib/savi sh ./savi $* the application starts.
