Re: [ferret_users] Installing ferret 7.4 - completing the instalation with Finstall Step

Dear Ferreters,

Problems is solved for installing ferret-7.4. I went back to my previous version of Ubuntu 14.04 and it works perfect.
I also tried to install as well as building PyFerret7.4 in my Ubuntu18.04 machine, but I couldn't also be successful due to some shared library/packages. However, the both work in Ubuntu 14.04.

Anyway, I don't really recognize the problems in Ubuntu18.04.

Thanks.



Cheers,
Masud

Dear Ferreters,

I have got the similar problem to install ferret 7.4 in the machine of Ubuntu 18.04.

masud@masud-EliteBook:~$ source /usr/local/ferret/ferret_paths

ln: failed to create symbolic link '/lib64/libreadline.so.6': File exists

*I tried to link the libreadline.so as Akshay showed. But, it failed.

Here are some points,
1. I have just untar the file in the /usr/local/ferret directory as a super user
2. run the command for installation: /usr/local/ferret/ferret-7.4-RHEL7-64/bin# ./Finstall and skipped the step (1) as instructed in the installation guide
3. Installation steps are shown in the attached images for kind information

 **** Raden, you said
(the previous problem was  error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.6: 
   cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory  -> but it was solved after i installing libreadline.so.6)
Q. Could you please help me in this situation?

Perhaps, I am wrong with little knowledge Linux system. I would appreciate for any help.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Masud

Use locate command like below, it will list available .so file, and then create symbolic link either in /lib/  or /lib64 directory 


For example, 

#  locate libreadline.so
/usr/lib64/libreadline.so


Syntax : ln -s [file] [soft-link-to-file]

Here I create symbolic link with the name which ferret is looking for

# ln -s /usr/lib64/libreadline.so  /lib64/libreadline.so.6

Dear Akshay

Thanks for help, it works and completed Finstall's steps. But after that I can't still run ferret. The terminal shows problem below:

root@raden-K42F:~# source /usr/local/ferret/ferret_paths
root@raden-K42F:~# ferret
ferret: error while loading shared libraries: libhistory.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

(the previous problem was  error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.6: 
   cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory  -> but it was solved after i installing libreadline.so.6)

I use Ubuntu 17.10 64bit. I say apologize because i don't have much exprience in OS Linux. 
I really appreciate for any suggestion and help.

Thank You

Best Regards

You got permission denied because current user can't create file, in '/usr/loca/ferret/bin' directory, login as sudo/root user and then install

# enter your password
$ sudo su

Dear Ferret Users,

I have some problem when i install executables (fer_executables.tar.gz) in the terminal shows : cannot create .../Finstall.log: Permission denied. I try move the tar data (fer_executables.tar.gz) to another folder, but it still shows the same problem. I also attached my terminal's screenshot that shows the problem.

Any suggestion?

Thanks for help
