Segmentation fault when installing on linux

Post by Done » Sun Nov 01, 2009 12:31 pm

Hi all,

i tried to install the rifidi-emulator on linux (Fedora 11) but the installer does not start

Code: Select all

%> chmod +x RifidiEmulator-1.5.3-linux-installer.bin
%> ./RifidiEmulator-1.5.3-linux-installer.bin
zsh: segmentation fault  ./RifidiEmulator-1.5.3-linux-installer.bin

%> file RifidiEmulator-1.5.3-linux-installer.bin
RifidiEmulator-1.5.3-linux-installer.bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, stripped

%> uname -a
Linux 2.6.30.9-90.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Sat Oct 17 11:09:52 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I have never tried our installer on Fedora before (I always use Ubuntu). The thing is the installer for linux pretty much only unpacks rifidi emulator into a folder, and you then run rifidi using the executable in the folder. It doesn't integrate in with any package managers like apt. Do you have access to an ubunutu installation? If so, try running the installer on the ubunutu machine, then moving the whole folder over to the fedora machine. If you can run rifidi at that point, then our installer just got in the way, and we need to probably release the linux version without an installer.

Perhaps you could use the izpack (http://izpack.org/) installer software instead of a 'binary' one?

Thanks for the pointer. I'll take a look at it. Lately, I have been thinking considering dropping the installer all together for the linux version. For windows, the installer makes sense because it adds the program to the start menu and creates a desktop icon and such. For the linux version, we don't really need an installer as all it does is extracts the directory.

I am using the 1.6 version of the installer. When I run it, nothing happens. And, I mean nothing; no extraction, no executable. What am I missing?
