Question

I’m trying to install GODI on linux (Ubuntu). It’s a library management tool for the ocaml language. I’ve actually installed this before –twice, but awhile ago– with no issues –that I can remember– but this time I just can’t figure out what I’m missing.

$ ./bootstrap --prefix /home/nlucaroni/godi $ ./bootstrap_stage2 .: 1: godi_confdir: not found Error: Command fails with code 2: /bin/sh Failure! 

I had added the proper directories to the path, and they show up with a quick echo $path, and godi_confdir reported as being:

 /home/nlucaroni/godi/etc 

(…and the directory exists, with the godi.conf file present). So, I can’t figure out why ./bootstrap_stage2 isn’t working.

Hey Chris, I just figured it out. Silly mistake.

It was just a permission issue, running everything from /tmp/ worked fine –well after enabling GODI_BASEPKG_PCRE in godi.conf. I had been running it from my home directory, you forget simple things like that at 3:00am.

Actually I’m having another problem. Installing conf-opengl-6:

GODI can’t seen to find the GL/gl.h file, though I can –you can see that it is Checking the suggestion.

edit – Ok, this is fixed too… just needed GLU, weird since the test configuration option said everything was fine.
