I tried with /mnt/hdb1 option ( where there are some GB free ) , the same error .

Maybe this works, but backup your save-file first, as the tools might be incompatible with some of Puppys scripts.

The same error Crying or Very sad

MU · Posted: Sat 19 Jan 2008, 11:50 Post subject:

please type:
head -n 50 medusa4_v3_0_1_linux_personal.sh >test.txt

This will print the first 50 lines to test.txt.
Open that in leafpad, and copy the text here.

If the last lines are not readable text, please do not copy those.
We just need to examine the installation-script.
It is in the beginning, followed by compressed binary data, that we do not need.

Hm, it works on my Muppy (Puppy 301).

Please type in the consolewindow:

sh test.txt 2>&1 >err.txt

Then copy the content of err.txt here.

And also:
df 2>&1 >free.txt

Then copy free.txt here.

This might give more hints.

I have an big sfs with all my apps ..... Do you thik I could have into it something wrong ???
Could I try with pfix=ram ?????

Do you think you could put your succesful installation as an alien package into dotpups.de ??

ok, found a solution.
The install-script has an error.
It looks for free size in /tmp even if you pass another folder.
We can trick it out.

Please do this:

In the folder with your installer, create a file "myinstall".
Open it in leafpad, and copy there this text and save.

MU · Posted: Sat 19 Jan 2008, 12:40 Post subject:

and please reboot first, your /tmp is full.
tmpfs 192972 56 192916 0% /tmp
A reboot will clean it up.

You missed a little thing ....

# ./script
Medusa4 Personal 3.0.1 INSTALLATION

Extracting Medusa4 Personal installation files... please wait

Starting the installer...
./medusa4_v3_0_1_linux_personal.sh: line 38: csh: command not found

But renaming bsd-csh to csh I solved .....

You are the best one Very Happy

Thank you for your wasted time

I love you Surprised

After a long time spent I'm very happy to see that after installed it don't start Shocked

/mnt/hdb1/Medusa4-301/med2d/m2d/run/draft: symbol lookup error: /mnt/hdb1/Medusa4-301/med2d/m2d/run/draft: undefined symbol: _ZTI13QWindowsStyle

I had a similar problem when I tried a kde application, If I lauched it from terminal ( but it worked without problem ).

Sometimes I think that windoz has some good things ( a double click and everythings work )

Sorry, I had overseen your message on saturday Sad

It seems that it depends on LibQT.
What QT did you install?
See /usr/lib/qt-XXX

I think you will have 3.3.8.
So the question is, which one?
You said you have KDE.
Did KDE come with qt?
Maybe that is a wrong version.
You could try to install QT-3.3.8 with petget.
Best is to backup your pup_save.2fs first!
Just in case KDE will work no longer.

It might be better, to test like this:
download and extract to a temporary folder:
http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/distr/puppylinux/pet_packages-3/qt-3.3.8.pet

For example extract to:
/mnt/hdb1/QT
Now search there for the folder "/lib/"
It will be something like
/mnt/hdb1/QT/qt-3.3.8/usr/lib/qt-3.3.8/lib/

Now run medusa from a console like this (but with your correct path):

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/hdb1/QT/qt-3.3.8/usr/lib/qt-3.3.8/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

medusa

This forces medusa to use these new QT-Libraries instead of the old ones, as now this folder is searched first for libraries.
If you still get errors, you might try a different QT.

According to the installation.pdf, it works on Suse 10.2 Suse 10.3 RedHat Enterprise 3 and 4.
So we could try to extract the ones from Suse.
But first try the one from Puppy please.

The same problem ....

I'm using xfce 4.4.1 ....

I saw I tried a kde app ( guarddog, but it's not important) downloading all needed libraires and I seen a similar error ( but the app worked ).

Installed I have qt 3.34 ( /lib/qt 3.34) ..... probably since my first sfs ..... I could sobstitute them ( some applications will not work ? ) ...

With export export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/hdb1/qt-3.3.8/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH I didn't see any difference .

I think I will find a similar program that will be easier to install Laughing

Thank you again.
