Installation

[VBT]

First of all I want to thank you for providing a Linux version for free. It's always nice to see open source OS supported in this fashion.
I have a question though on the installation of the file for Linux. The installation instructions so far are a little on the light side "Unpack the application and put it where you like! Additional installation methods will be provided later." so far and a few clues as to what type of installation format goes with this file would help.

The file when untarred give no easy clue to it and some idea of dependencies would be great.

Not trying to rush you here or complain. Just looking for some clues before getting into an install of it.

Hi,

on most recent Linux distributions, you just unpack the file and double-click the program to launch. If you have a 64-bit Linux, you may have to install 32-bit libraries if it doesn't run. For example, on Ubuntu 64 bit, do:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

In addition, you may need:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-gtk

If the program says it cannot find the sqlite3 libraries, you can download them from here:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libsqlite3-0 (choose the i386 version), and install the downloaded file with these commands at a root command prompt:

Code: Select all

dpkg -X your_downloaded_lib_file_i386.deb /emul/ia32-linux
ldconfig

OK, thanks. I tried that and it is a 32 bit installation, but it didn't run. Either I have a corrupted download of it or I'm missing a dependancie I guess. I'll try a re-install.

Dependencies can be checked with the command line

Code: Select all

ldd ./SuperFlexibleSynchronizer
