cant run hda-install cmd

[moredruid]

hmm did you disable DHCP on your router before or after installing fedora & amahi?
because that might have caused the non-working internet connection.

in short:
- DHCP on your router ON
- install fedora 9, during the adding of the amahi repo it will ask you to setup a network connection, just let it set up over DHCP & continue install
- once the amahi install is complete, go to your router setup and turn DHCP OFF

I did the full fd 9 install. I followed the instructions to the T, but cant get it over the last hump.
Now for a noob linux question. I was trying to reinstall fd 9, but the OS loads everytime without trying to mount the DVD I have in there. How can I get to the Rescue screen

set the boot order (boot priority) in your BIOS that the CD-ROM/DVD drive should be the first boot device.

Depending on your BIOS you may have to press F1 or Del, some brands have F8, F9, F10, F11 or F12 wired to a boot device menu. Carefully check the boot options displayed during your POST (the first text 'n stuff that gets displayed when booting your computer)

I am getting this error. I have been futzing with this all day. I could only install from the Live CD, I know you hate it, but this is the LAST step...I am so close. I have this error. I have rebooted and everything:

[root@HDA ~]# hda-install -f MYCODE
Can't locate LWP/Simple.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/bin/hda-install line 24.

Can you help me?

The live CD is not supported, also don't post your install code in here please.

jrudluff1,

this *is* the live cd, or perhaps netinstall?

this is going to be a whole line of dependencies being missed. i don't think you are close

to get around this particular dependency, try:

Code: Select all

yum -y install perl-libwww-perl

but honestly, the best thing is to install from the full DVD.

we can help you out with more depencies, however, i am not sure whether those will fail in some way that you don't see it as clearly as this. it may be buried in the hda-install.log file (which is created in the directory where the hda-install was created).

[jrudluff1]

That worked. Thanks. I am up and running.

[cpg]

perhaps you can document in the wiki what other dependencies you miss with this install method.

you may see weird stuff with apps not having all they need, etc.
we just don't want you to have a bad experience.

I used both instances: su as well as su -
With both, I get the same errors.
/usr/bin/hda-install: line 21: use: command not found
/usr/bin/hda-install: hda-install: line 22: syntax error near unexpected token '('
/usr/bin/hda-install: hda-install: line 22: 'use DBI();'

Done with full install, and updates. Posts say not to install updates.
That should have been specified on the website install instructions!
If there are no solutions, then I guess we will all have to start from scratch again.

/usr/bin/hda-install: line 21: use: command not found

this means perl is completely hosed in your system. this is a completely new error mode we have never ever seen before.

in fact, i noticed something interesting - use - command not found?? perl would never say that.

... lo and behold, it seems like you perhaps are executing hda-install with shell?
considering how i get the exact same error if i run it with the shell:

Code: Select all

$ sh /usr/bin/hda-install /usr/bin/hda-install: line 21: use: command not found /usr/bin/hda-install: line 22: syntax error near unexpected token `(' /usr/bin/hda-install: line 22: `use DBI();'

it's a perl program ... should be executed as hda-install (perl will execute)

maybe you are an advanced user (the more advanced the user, usually the more trouble they get into, we have observed )

good point. the updates are something that amahi tries to stay away from and let the user manage.

let us know if you fix this.
