Hi guys I have a problem, I need some suggestions from all the experts and those who have experience in Linux. Before we go any further, I just wanna say a big THANK YOU to you guys for taking the time to help me out. I truly appreciate the help. I'm a total newbie to this so any help you guys can give me would be great!

Right, I ran into a problem when trying to install BlueCat Linux. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.1.

My problem is this:

root@sanjeev-desktop:/tmp# cd /opt/BlueCat
root@sanjeev-desktop:/opt/BlueCat# /tmp/install
Installation directory must be empty
install: terminating
root@sanjeev-desktop:/opt/BlueCat# /bin/ls: cannot access *: No such file or directory


Could you guys tell me why I'm getting this error and how I can resolve it please? I've already set all the relevant folder permissions to rwx and I'm using sudo passwrd.

If you guys want, I can post everything I typed in the terminal.

Thanks a bunch guys!

I am not 100% sure what you are trying to do. Where is this /opt directory? Is it on an install CD or on your hard drive? It won't install if it is looking for any command line parameters. Try running it like "install /?" or "install --help" or "install -h" one of those should work. It might be looking for the destination directory (install /placetoinstall).

Well, here are the installation step that I'm supposed to carry out:

BlueCat Installation

1. Copy /mnt/cdrom/BlueCat_i386 and all its subdirectories to, for example, /tmp.
2. Move "install" from /tmp/BlueCat_i386 to /tmp.
3. cd /opt/BlueCat.
4. Execute /tmp/install


The /opt directory is on the hard drive. I'm supposed to create a folder called BlueCat and install into there. The source files are on the CD in a folder called BlueCat_i386 which I'm supposed to copy into the /tmp directory. Am I making any sense?

Or should I post the terminal commands that I used?

 

[krmathis]

Give these steps a try:
root@sanjeev-desktop:/tmp# cd /opt/BlueCat
root@sanjeev-desktop:/opt/BlueCat# ./install

Edit. Perhaps I don't get it either.

 

[progo]

Cat /tmp/install, if it's a bash script (usually are)

 

[wrecked_porsche]

@krmathis
root@sanjeev-desktop:/tmp# cd /opt/BlueCat
root@sanjeev-desktop:/opt/BlueCat# ./install
bash: ./install: No such file or directory


@progo
root@sanjeev-desktop:/opt/BlueCat# Cat /tmp/install
bash: Cat: command not found

 

[wrecked_porsche]

@krmathis
root@sanjeev-desktop:/tmp# cd /opt/BlueCat
root@sanjeev-desktop:/opt/BlueCat# ./install
bash: ./install: No such file or directory


@progo
root@sanjeev-desktop:/opt/BlueCat# Cat /tmp/install
bash: Cat: command not found

May be "cd tmp" before "./install"?

 

[wrecked_porsche]

The install file is in the /tmp directory.
I want to install to /opt/BlueCat.

So, shouldn't I be in the /opt/BlueCat and then execute the install?

I guess it depends on how the script is written? Personally I haven't come across an install script that matters where I execute it. Either the script would prompt for install location, or you don;t get to choose at all. But when I was using Ubuntu I didn't install many things outside of the repository.

 

[progo]

Most unix programs are written in lower case, so Cat is cat.

EDIT: and are you sure you copied the directory with all the contents? I'm sure you did, but must confirm. It'd be "cp -r /mnt/cdrom/BlueCat_i386 /tmp/".

Well, it does not prompt me for anything... here is the full terminal command history...

Okay, so it's not a shell script.

You can edit that away if you wish.

Change to your new tmp directory and check for the install file details:

#cd /tmp
#ls -al install*

Check the file exists and is executable - should have the x option in the listing. Some shell scripts can be prefixed with a . which hides them from the standard ls command. If yours is there and called install then:


#cd /opt
#mkdir BlueCat
#cd /opt/Bluecat
#./tmp/install


** note if the file is called install.sh or .install.sh change the last command above to either:

#./tmp/install.sh
#./.tmp/install.sh

Watchout for typos as Linux treats Cat and cat as 2 different commands as you have obviously found earlier.
