Istall error: Needs Dialog
« on: October 21, 2005, 06:10:19 pm »
Whenever I install PS I get this error:

[root@pcp09667277pcs Desktop]# ./PlaneShift_CBV0.3.011.linux.x86-2.run
Creating directory ps.cb.03.011.linux.x86-2
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Planeshift Crystal Blue Version 3.011 relase 2..
which: no dialog in (/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/lib/jre/bin:/home/Nick/bin:/usr/lib/jre/bin:/usr/lib/jre/bin:/usr/lib/jre/bin:/usr/lib/jre/bin)
Checking if dialog program is installed...
Dialog program, which is required to use this software, cannot be found.
Please install this program before continuing Planeshift installation.
You may obtain it from your distribution FTP or install disk.
[root@pcp09667277pcs Desktop]#    




I also have no idea what Dialog program is, or where to get/find it.  If it\'s needed, I\'m also using the Fedora Core 4 distro.  Can anyone help with this?

Hello.

Since You are already aware, that You need \"dialog\" utility, I\'ll not send You to search button ;)
In FC4 the command, which will install needed program looks like this:

yum install dialog

Good luck.

EDIT: You should run the above command as root, HOWEVER, I don\'t recommend installing Planeshift (I mean executing PlaneShift_CBV0.3.011.linux.x86-2.run) as root, do it as ordinary user.

Alternatively if you don\'t want to or if you are too lazy to get dialog, you could just copy the planeshift.tar.gz archive from the ./ps.cb.03.011.linux.x86-2 dir to your favorite location and unzip it with
tar xvzf planeshift.tar.gz
It will create a planeshift subfolder with all files.


Back to Planeshift again \\o/
