Re: [Emc-users] SheetCam TNG V0.0.24 for Linux released

2008-06-20 Thread Eric H. Johnson
Les,

Sorry to report, but loading sheetcam seems to have severely affected
packaging functions (apt-get, synaptic, etc). Both the packages sheetcamlibs
and sheetcam installed with errors, but sheetcam itself seems to be working.
The problem is, synaptic, apt-get, etc. now do not.

I am running a fresh install of Ubuntu 6.06 workstation. The only other
application installed since the install of the OS was EMC.

If I run synaptic, or apt-get, I continually get the error E: The package
sheetcamlibs needs to be reinstalled, but I cannot find an archive for it.
It then prevents the installing, removing etc. of any other packages.

Synaptic further gives an error of E: Internal error opening cache(1).
Please report.

Thereafter synaptic lists no packages and in the status bar shows:
0 packages listed, -1 installed, 0 broken.

I have also been equally unsuccessful in removing sheetcamlibs and sheetcam,
which again fail on the same message.

Any advice appreciated.

Regards,
Eric


I have just uploaded the Linux version of 0.0.24 to www.sheetcam.com.
This release now comes as a Debian package (.deb). This covers all of the
Debian derivatives such as Ubuntu, Knoppix etc. If you can't use .debs then
let me know and I'll see what I can sort out. I do intend to support RPMs in
the near future. In many distros, simply clicking on the package in your
browser will install it.

The Linux version comes as two packages, the libraries and the application
files. The libraries (sheetcamlibs-2.8.7.deb) need to be installed first.
Once they are installed you should not have to install them again for quite
a while. The application, SheetCamTNG-0.0.24.deb will change with every
release.

If you already have the Autopackage version installed, here is how to
uninstall it:
Open a terminal. In Ubunto it is in Applications-Accessories-Terminal.
Enter the following:
package remove SheetCamTNG
package remove wxlualibs
package remove wxgtk

If you want to remove Autopackage itself then enter:
package remove autopackage
package remove autopackage
The first time removes the graphical front end, the second time removes
Autopackage itself.

Eric,

Why did you install the workstation version vs the standard one that comes 
packaged with EMC2?

Les,

I'm running the Ubuntu 6.06 that comes with EMC2 and sheet cam installs and 
works so far and doesn't seem to stomp on anything else. Please don't give up 
on 
your linux version.

Thanks
John
