[IPCop-devel] Problems with HTML install of ipcop1.3.1alpha5

[Harry M. <ha...@sh...>]

All


Has anybody got an HTML install of 1.3.1alpha5 to work?

Looks like the changes that were made around the url that users need to
type to download the tarball have been less than successful.

I enter http://xx.xx.xx.xx/ipcop.tgz , a file that does exist and is
readable. (and as the note to users on the download page suggests)

The logged wget command is

/bin/wget -P /harddisk http://xx.xx.xx.xx

Response is index.html is downloaded (not really surprising).

index.html is indeed downloaded to /harddisk, and yes its the
webserver's index.html file...

/bin/gzip -d -c /harddisk/ipcop.tgz | /bin/tar -C /harddisk -xvf -
then fails to unzip the non existent ipcop.tgz file, and  returns the
somewhat misleading error "unable to calculate module dependencies"

Several tries of blind guesses at what url might really download the
file later, I've given up and helped it over that little hurdle by doing
the correct wget for it from another window before I let it loose to
fetch index.html...

It gets as far as running /bin/chroot /harddisk /sbin/depmod -a
then fails unable to locate depmod.

Yep, no depmod in either /bin or /sbin. Looks like its been left out of
ipcop.tgz.

Again our favorite error of "unable to calculate module dependencies"

Guess I can have a squint in the .iso and see if depmod is available
there.

Not sure if its worth pursuing this too far though, I assume there will
be an alpha6 fairly soon?

Cheers Harry
