 |
|
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# ./linux_installer.sh
Copying to a temporary location...
Verifying archive integrity...tail: cannot open `+266' for reading: No such file or directory
Error in checksums: 1006763953 is different from 3043856338
|
This is the error I'm getting, and I am unable to find a solution...
I'm a pretty good "searcher"  , and nowhere I can find the answer, so I was hoping someone here knew the answer....
the checksums are different everytime (except the 'from #" part of course)....
Using kernel 2.6-test9 and KDE 3.2b (Yup, I'm up to date )
Is it the kernel or......

The problem is caused by coreutils. It uses a new syntax since quite some time now. The installers still use the old one. You can "enable" the old syntax though:
| Code: |
bash-2.05b# _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 ./linux_installer.sh |

An exerpt from the coreutils manual regarding the 199209:
| coreutils manual wrote: |
Newer versions of POSIX are occasionally incompatible with older
versions. For example, older versions of POSIX required the command
`sort +1' to sort based on the second and succeeding fields in each
input line, but starting with POSIX 1003.1-2001 the same command is
required to sort the file named `+1', and you must instead use the
command `sort -k 2' to get the field-based sort.
The GNU utilities normally conform to the version of POSIX that is
standard for your system. To cause them to conform to a different
version of POSIX, define the `_POSIX2_VERSION' environment variable to
a value of the form YYYYMM specifying the year and month the standard
was adopted. Two values are currently supported for `_POSIX2_VERSION':
`199209' stands for POSIX 1003.2-1992, and `200112' stands for POSIX
1003.1-2001. For example, if you are running older software that
assumes an older version of POSIX and uses `sort +1', `head -1', or
`tail +1', you can work around the compatibility problems by setting
`_POSIX2_VERSION=199209' in your environment. |
Currently your system seems to be using the newer POSIX type, but the installers expect the older one using wrong parameter for tail&co.
You only need to have _POSIX2_VERSION set to 199209 while youre installing your games. The way I do it, it will be reset to the newer POSIX type after the installer quits. You might as well simply export it before installing. |

Can I kiss you?
I've been struggling for months with this problem, or I could kick you in the nuts for not telling me sooner
