Title: Linux install: dialog: command not found
Post by: dentaku on May 29, 2005, 05:40:24 pm
I formerly hat Version 3.0.9 installed on my Linux computer and I had no problems with it. Installation went well, update went weel, registration and game went well. Now, after I got an error that my client version was to old, I tried to update but just got error message tha my update version is too old.

After reading lots of posts here I decided to download the 250 MB again for the latest 3.0.10 version. But now, even the installation doesn\'t work:

Code: [Select]

dent $ ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.010.run
Creating directory ps.cb.03.010
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Planeshift Crystal Blue Version 3.010..
./setup.sh: line 57: dialog: command not found
./setup.sh: line 59: dialog: command not found
./setup.sh: line 113: dialog: command not found

Removing tmp files...


:-(

The \"dialog\" it\'s looking for is almost certainly a program which is used by some Linux shell scripts to display colourful menus (e.g. the Linux kernel uses it for one of its configuration interfaces).  See if you can find a package of it for your distribution - it\'s probably included on the CD(s).

In Gentoo, \"dialog\" is available as an \'ebuild\' and can be installed in the usual way by typing \"emerge dialog\"... I don\'t know about any other distributions, but it\'s a common enough program that it will be somewhere in the standard set of packages, probably in some sort of \'development\' or \'utilities\' section.

BTW, this thread would be more appropriately placed in the \"Linux Specific Issues\" forum.

Linux kernel menuconfig uses ncurses. :-P

Anyway there is a forum for Linux specific issues with some begin of documentation of the Linux client and installer issues.
