Hi!

I was trying to get bioapi to work and got stuck!
Code:
darcline tmp # sh install.sh
Installing TouchChip TFM/ESS Fingerprint BSP ...
install.sh: line 9: mod_install: command not found
darcline tmp #

i cant seem to get upeks beta driver TFMESS_BSP_LIN_1.0beta2.zip to work.

i followed http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_enable_the_fingerprint_reader.

did i forget something??


ps

the install.sh reads:
Code:
#! /bin/sh

# Install script for UPEK BioAPI on Linux

install_module()
{
    echo "Installing $1 ..."
    cp lib$2.so /usr/local/lib/
    mod_install -fi /usr/local/lib/lib$2.so
}

    install_module "TouchChip TFM/ESS Fingerprint BSP" tfmessbsp
    exit 0


bioapi itself seems fine...... but the driver from upek??

Code:
Installing BIOAPI ...

Module Directory Services (MDS) ...
MDS installed successfully.
bioapi100...
Module installed successfully.
bioapi_dummy100...
Module installed successfully.
pwbsp...
Module installed successfully.
Done.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/bioapi-1.2.2/work/bioapi-1.2.2'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'.

SU to root does not work since then the /usr/local/bin directory is not used per default.

login in AS root works!!!!
