[SD4L-user] Trouble installing and building on Ubuntu Hardy

[Dale O. Jr. <Pa...@ea...>]

Hello, Listers,

Can you help me get ScramDisk running on my system?
dpkg claims the .ko has an invalid format, and 
I have been unable to make from the source.

I would like to use ScramDisk on Ubuntu Hardy:
$ uname -r
2.6.24-21-generic

I downloaded from Sourceforge:
ScramDisk_1.3-0_en.pdf
ScramDisk_1.3-0_Ubuntu-8.04_2.6.24_i386.deb
ScramDisk_1.3-0_Ubuntu-8.04_2.6.24_i386.deb.sig

I checked the sig and it is OK:
$ gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 0x68CED9BE
gpg: requesting key 68CED9BE from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: key 68CED9BE: public key "Ulrich Juettner (Scramdisk for Linux Signature Key) <han...@t-...>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)

$ gpg --verify Scr*.sig
gpg: Signature made Sat 26 Apr 2008 02:32:42 PM EDT using RSA key ID 68CED9BE
gpg: Good signature from "Ulrich Juettner (Scramdisk for Linux Signature Key) <han...@t-...>"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: 478E BB6C 740F 0C9D D6A2  95EC 51D3 2249 68CE D9BE

I tried to install the package and it failed:
$ sudo dpkg -i ScramDisk_1.3-0_Ubuntu-8.04_2.6.24_i386.deb
[sudo] password: 
(Reading database ... 146341 files and directories currently installed.)

I then downloaded the source into /usr/src:
-rw-r--r--  1 root     root       1291244 2008-10-30 10:13 ScramDisk_1.3-1.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--  1 root     root           287 2008-10-30 10:14 ScramDisk_1.3-1.tar.gz.sig

I verified the signature:
$ gpg --verify Scr*.sig
gpg: Signature made Sat 12 Jul 2008 08:42:36 AM EDT using RSA key ID 68CED9BE
gpg: Good signature from "Ulrich Juettner (Scramdisk for Linux Signature Key) <han...@t-...>"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!

Primary key fingerprint: 478E BB6C 740F 0C9D D6A2  95EC 51D3 2249 68CE D9BE

Then I unpacked the tarball:
$ sudo tar -xzf ScramDisk_1.3-1.tar.gz

I changed to the source directory:
$ cd ScramDisk-1.3-1

And tried run the make, but that failed:
$ sudo make
cd gui && qmake && lrelease scramdisk_de.ts
/bin/sh: qmake: not found
make: *** [all] Error 127

So now I am pretty much at the limit of my knowledge.
I do observe that there is no Makefile in the gui directory.

I would be grateful for any help you can give me to get ScramDisk 
working on my system.

Many thanks,
Dale Osborn

p.s. I am new to Sourceforge.  If I should have put this on 
the bug tracker please let me know.
