SOPERA ASF 3.2 installation aborted

[JGerlach]

I even tried to install the new version of the ASF. First I uninstall the old installation like the install guide descriptes. That runs without any problems. Next I copied the SOPInstall directory to /SOPInstall/ on my harddrive and set the rights "chmod ugo+x bin/*". Now when I start the installation with "sh bin/sopinstall -i" and the terminal prints that:

: command not found 2:
: command not found 26:
'opinstall.sh: line 27: syntax error near unexpected token `{
'opinstall.sh: line 27: `usage () {

Line two and 26 is blank line and line 27 looks like "usage () {", but it is the same like in the sopinstall.sh from the ASF 3.1? What could it be?

Thanks for the help.

Hi, did you try the installation in a new shell or did you use the previous shell from uninstall?
Some environment settings from the runtime enwvironment are not compatible with the installation process.
Try it with a new "clean" shell.

Good morning,
yes I testet in a new shell and I tried to reboot. Now I think that OpenSuse has change / update something because the old version break off, too. I used the OpenSuse 11.1 so today I tried it with the 10.3. We would see.

Today I tried with the OpenSuse10.3 but the error massage is the same. So I think it is a problem with my computer rather the virtualbox.

Do you install as root or as a non-root user?

Use the installation command as described in the documentation: "bin/sopinstall -i" instead of "sh bin/sopinstall -i".

In any case please check the log files <SOPERA_HOME>/install.log and <SOPERA_HOME>/after_install_actions.log for more informations

I tried both variants and as root and user, too. I beleave it is my virtualbox because with the old ASF it's the same problem. I tried to reinstall the virtualbox later.

Hi JGerlach,

I don't think that virtual box is the problem - I successfully installed Sopera on Debian and Windows running in virtual box running on a OSX host.

My most recent experience with SuSE dates back to version 6.2. One thing to look at might be the required versions of some utilities the installer is using - off the top of my head I can think of tail (got to be the right version), zip/unzip and bc (for calculating ports). Are all of these installed?

Best regards

Jerry
