BC 4.1 .tar.gz install failed b/c ldconfig isn't on the path

Hello,

If you are on Ubuntu, I recommend using the 64bit.deb package. This should use your native OS installer and handle any issues needed for installing the program.

I'll pass along your notes about ldconfig to our Linux developer. My hunch is there are only a limited number of places we can check for it, and if it's not found the .tar.gz install will need to fail.

Thanks for the reply. My issue is that I'm in a corporate environment and don't have sudo or root on this shared Ubuntu box. Is there a way to install a .deb package without being root?

That brings up another general issue I've been having with install - I may not have all the new dependencies in 4.1 and when I actually run BC 4.1 it mostly works, but there are some strange things (missing menus, 7z files don't extract, etc). Of course it's on me to get my IT dept to install those dependencies. But maybe detecting missing dependencies (during install? And runtime?) and gracefully failing would be another suggestion.

I guess this is just general beta feedback that the install is clumsy/difficult for non-root, non-sudo users.

Hello,

You would really need admin access in order to resolve the necessary dependencies. Most are vital for running the application, otherwise it wouldn't launch. It sounds like you may have had access originally to install most of them for 4.0, which is why you are able to partially launch the program, but are now in a weird state where you have some dependencies, while some need updates or are missing.
