Trouble installing VisualWorks 7.8.1 on Ubuntu
 
|
Hi, I'm getting the following error when I attempt to execute the install script on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
./installUnix64 It turns out that this file is empty. Thus, no output is generated by the script. Then, I try the following:
$ ./installUnix ./installUnix: 49: exec: vw7.8.1nc/bin/linux86/visual: Permission denied Next, the documentation say to execute the following:
vw7.8nc/Install_Uninstall Is there an updated script/documentation which provides instructions for a clean install?

I just looked at the ISOs for 7.8.1, and none of them has an empty
installUnix64 file. Are you mounting the ISO file, or is that a burned CD? If you're mounting, exactly what filesystem type does Ubuntu think the ISO file contains?

Hi Conrad,
I'm sorry you're having trouble here, but I am a little confused. I just used the Personal Use download page on our website to download the CST11sp1NC_jan12.1ne.iso and burned a CD from that. The content of the installUnix64 file is (as I would expect it to be) identical to that of the installUnix file. In addition, both the Install.txt and the Install.pdf (pg 2-1) file indicate that you should run the installUnix shell script to install VisualWorks on Unix/Linux machines. Although I don't have a native Ubuntu installation, I do have the latest 64-bit Linux Mint 12 which has a Ubuntu heritage. I cannot immediately explain why opening the CD and running vw7.8.1nc/bin/linux86/visual vw7.8.1nc/image/install.im -installMap install.map results in the error bash: vw7.8.1nc/bin/linux86/visual: No such file or directory since that file clearly exists on the CD. This is essentially the command line which would be executed if you run the installUnix shell script there, and we regularly use this script in our weekly testing on 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux. But on 64-bit Linux Mint running the script fails with a "not found" message. There does seem to be a problem there. I can, however, run the following command vw7.8.1nc/bin/linuxx86_64/visual vw7.8.1nc/image/install64.im -installMap install.map which is essentially the command line which would be executed if you run the installUnix64 shell script there. And running that shell script also launches the VisualWorks installer allowing me to successfully install VisualWorks on my machine. Did you burn a CD or are you mounting the ISO? Can you please try the 64-bit install command line above and see if that works for you?

Hi Conrad,
The directory contents looks plausible, except for the two empty files. Just in case, here's the size and md5 info to verify the NC images (not sure which one you've got): CST11sp1NC_jan12.1.iso size: 539359232 md5sum: '82145ddb10d11def2344345e3849df05' CST11sp1NC_jan12.1ne.iso size: 539367424 md5sum: 'bb67101c6d583495fd04370cb0d446b6' HTH, M.

Hi Conrad,
Glad you got VisualWorks to install, but I'm still concerned about the empty files on your CD. Since the md5sum matches what Mark provided (which also matches what I get for my download as well), I'm a bit suspicious of the Ubuntu CD burning software. It almost looks like it dropped some files it decided should not be executed on your platform. You have a Mac as well, right? Can you open the ISO on the Mac and look at root of the CD? You should see something like this: SM33380:/Volumes/CST11sp1NC smichael$ ls -al total 1152 dr-xr-xr-x 5 smichael smichael 2048 Jan 5 07:34 . drwxrwxrwt@ 7 root admin 238 May 8 10:05 .. dr-xr-xr-x 3 smichael smichael 2048 Jan 5 07:35 .rr_moved -r--r--r-- 13 smichael smichael 487894 Dec 5 02:55 Install.pdf -r--r--r-- 7 smichael smichael 6638 Dec 5 02:55 Install.txt -r-xr-xr-x 19 smichael smichael 1791 Dec 5 03:09 autorun -r--r--r-- 4 smichael smichael 137 Dec 5 03:14 autorun.inf -r--r--r-- 2 smichael smichael 70955 Jan 5 07:34 install.map dr-xr-xr-x 3 smichael smichael 2048 Jan 5 07:15 installMacOSX.app -r-xr-xr-x 19 smichael smichael 1791 Dec 5 03:09 installUnix -r-xr-xr-x 19 smichael smichael 1791 Dec 5 03:09 installUnix64 -r-xr-xr-x 4 smichael smichael 90 Dec 5 03:15 installWin.bat -r--r--r-- 7 smichael smichael 1470 Dec 5 02:55 readme.txt dr-xr-xr-x 5 smichael smichael 2048 Jan 5 07:22 vw7.8.1nc Thanks, Sherry On 5/8/12 4:10 AM, Conrad Taylor wrote: > On Mon, May 7, 2012 at 7:33 PM, Sherry Michael <[hidden email] > <mailto:[hidden email]>> wrote: > > Did you burn a CD or are you mounting the ISO? > > > Yes, I created a CD from the ISO because the ISO mounting software appear to be broken on Ubuntu > because it doesn't maintain the executable bit. > _______________________________________________ vwnc mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwnc |

BTW, if one was to view the DVD on Ubuntu, one would see very similar information. The issue appears to be with Ubuntu's mounting software.

I've re-created this problem using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS under VMware Fusion 4.
I allowed VMware to do the "easy install".
When Ubuntu was installed and running, I attempted to install VisualWorks 7.8.1 NC (from CDROM and also from ISO accessed as a CDROM under VMware) using "installUnix" and received a failure message that the visual executable (32 bit) on the cdrom did not exist.
The file does exist, and depending upon what tool you use to inspect it, you will see its contents.
The problem is that the 64 bit version of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS does not install support for 32 bit executables by default.
The problem is the loader. The 64 bit loader is present, but the 32 bit loader is not.
An easy way to fix this is to select the Ubuntu Software Center and search on "ia32-libs".
Install this package, and the 32 bit loader will be present, and you can then install using the "installUnix" shell script. (I did.)
Several users have argued that this package should be loaded by default in the Ubuntu distribution, but so far it is not.
This affects other 32-bit programs in addition to VisualWorks, so many users will run into this with various 32 programs.
