2.7 + linux builds

[Mark]

Hi Dan,

Just subscribe to the beta testing programme (elsewhere in this forum or on the RunRev website) and send an e-mail to quality ( ad ) runrev (dot) com or support (ad) runrev ( dot ) com to speed up your admission to the programme. Bill, who now runs the marketing and beta testing departments seems to be too busy to reply to individual e-mails these days.

Best,

Mark

To get access to the beta, you have to sign up for it, or have a enterprise license, and check for updates. If you don't get the details about how to get the beta about a week after sending in the form, just mail support.

Hi,

I have received today a mail with links to the beta versions for win, mac and linux. The support team is very fast !!!

But, the linux version (a targzipped file) don't work ! The revolution executable don't launch : an error window tells me : "Your installation of Revolution seems to have been corrupted - Please reinstall" !!!

I have downloaded the file 3 times and reinstalled runrev, but the same error occurs...

On the other side, the windows version works fine and compiled stacks for linux platform run very nicely.

Any ideas ??

Dan

PS : I use a Mandriva 2007 Spring Linux Distro and have untargzipped the file by a "tar -xf RevEnt290FullTestBeta8.tgz" in my home directory...

Hi dany,

This is a known problem with DP-1 that we are trying to track down at the moment - however, we have not been able to reproduce it yet.

Could you give me more information about your linux setup please? More specifically, what language and locale are you using? We think it _may_ have something to do with non-uk language linux installations.

Thanks,

Tim.

Hi,

My language and locale (on mandriva 2007 Spring) are Fr (French) / Fr (Français).

I use also the multi-keyboard function of KDE 3.5 with Fr<>Us switch...

My kernel version is : 2.6.17.13mdv and my mandriva installation is a very basic one.

Good luck

Dan

Hi Dan,

Thanks for that info - that does seem to confirm our suspicions that it is related to the locale, so we work towards a fix for the DP-2 release.

In the mean time, if you look at bug report 5408 in the RQCC, one of the other users who had this problem has found that then can get round the problem by simply unsetting the LANG environment variable in the xterm before launching Revolution.

I hope this works for you too until we get it sorted!

Regards,

Tim.

Hi,

Unsetting the language (by "$ unset LANG") don't fix this bug under my Mandriva 2007...

I have tried these scripts:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

unset LANG

./revolution

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

export LANG=

./revolution

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

export LANG=en_UK

./revolution

without any good results...

The same error window occurs.

Regards,

Dan

Hi Dan,

Could you possibly post (or pm me) a dump of all your environment variables? I may be that your version of Linux has some other locale specific variable set.

Thanks,

Tim.

Hi Dan,

If you unset all the LC_ things (such as LC_NUMERIC etc) as well as LANG it will work.

You will be pleased to know that we have just figured out the core problem and I am working on the fix now, so DP-2 will work just great without having to mess around with the environment!

Thanks for all your help here,

Regards,
Tim.

[dany_cohen]

Hi Tim,

Yes, it works on my Mandriva too !

Thank you

Best regards

Dan
