[gobolinux-users] rootless - real_install

[Marco Cagnoli]

Hi Dan,
I'm still experimenting problems with rootless installation; I try to
explain what I'm doing and what I discovered:

1) I downloaded Scripts-2.3.1 from kundor.org

2) I made a fresh installation with the CreateRootlessEnviroment script
in that package and the process exits with the broken link to "install"
(I'm trying to install on an ubuntu box)

3) editing the script I noticed something that in my opinion coul be a
bug. I copy here lines from 139 to 145

if [ -e "/bin/install" ]
then
	ln -sfn /bin/install ${goboPrefix}/Programs/Rootless/1.0/bin/real_install
elif [ -e "/usr/bin/install" ]
then
	ln -sfn /bin/install ${goboPrefix}/Programs/Rootless/1.0/bin/real_install
else

I think that the second link should be ln -sfn /usr/bin/install

4) another point is that in line 183 the version is hard coded on an
older one

version=2.2.1

doesn't it should be 2.3.1, that is the version I'm installing?

5) I also overwrote the completion.bash scrip with the version you sent
me in a previous message, made the tar.bz2 and uploaded it on a my web
server (changing obviously the address in the CreateRootlessEnviroment).

6) I made a new fresh installation and the problem with the broken link
was solved!

7) Now I'm experimenting two more problems: this is an extract from the 
messages I'm obtaining from the CreateRootlessEnviromen:

...
...
Scripts/2.3.1/Resources/Dependencies
Pre-linking Scripts...

sed: impossibile leggere /etc/completion.bash: Nessun file o directory
cat: /home/gobolinux/gobolinux//System/Links/Environment/*: Nessun file 
o directory

Linking Scripts...
SymlinkProgram: Symlinking Scripts 2.3.1.
SymlinkProgram: Symlinking global settings...
...
...

I found the problem is in the bashrc script at line 9 for the first error

source ${goboPrefix}/System/Settings/completion.bash

and at line 74

source "$envcachefile"

for the second (both with the source command...).

Any idea how to solve them?

Thank you

Marco
