Hi everyone!
I found a wiki for the installation of Player and Stage from some university in Denmark I guess...
It helped me a lot but there were some other problems which I had to solve. Now I believe it's finally installed so I will try to catch up with everyone else.
Here's the link: http://www.control.aau.dk/~tb/wiki/index.php/Installing_Player_and_Stage_in_Ubuntu
Regards!

Hi Carlos,
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know about your improvements. Moreover, can you let us know which problems you have with the installation?
Might be somebody have/had such or similar sort of problems and perhaps you can even receive some help. Also, it is good for all to have a more information about this task.
Cheers,
Renato.
Yeah I had the same two problems Laura had when she was trying to install Stage.
ReplyDeleteWell, first of all from the wiki, all the dependencies I installed them using the Synaptic Package Manager and just Player and Stage with the instructions of the wiki.
The first error was about a library, when installing Stage be sure to set the paths correctly as said in the wiki in the .bashrc file and also you have to ask two more lines for the path of the libraries one is LIBRARY_PATH (or something like that) and the other is LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or something like that as well) it's easy to find in the forums because it's a common error, after doing that these same two lines have to be added in a file called environment located in the /etc directory. That didn't seem to work but then I found that just by typing ldconfig in the terminal does the trick. I don't know if it was just this last command or the combination of the three steps taken but it worked. Then for the second error there's a rgb.txt file missing at /usr/X11R6/X11/rgb.txt, this is because Ubuntu developers consider this file obsolete but some other programs like Stage uses this file to get the colors so just by adding this file the problem is solved, it's also easy to find in the forums what the content of the file is so there shouldn't be any more problems installing Stage in Ubuntu.
By the way, this is for the latest Ubuntu (8.10) but it should work on other versions.
Looking forward to the meeting of tomorrow.
Regards!
