cat: /tmp/BC3_.16831: No such file or directory

And for files

adwi2@motoko:~/Minecraft$ bcompare FTBLauncherLog.txt MinecraftLog.txt
cat: /tmp/BC3_.16875: No such file or directory

Hello,

Which Linux OS and version are you running? Is it 32bit or 64bit?

Does calling 'bcompare' on its own launch the application for you?

I am also able to repeat this on my build machine and will also be working to fix this one today.

Hi David,

Is this issue fixed. Because I'm having the same problem.

[David]

What I believe is a fix has been placed in the repository and is in the nightly builds. If you would like to try it out send an email to [email protected] with a link to this forum thread and our tech support folk will tell you how to get a hold of the current nightly build.

It's fixed in the latest nightly build from 20140128. But I still see the following message on the command line:

cat: /tmp/BC3_.4036: No such file or directory

This file is not available on my system, but "/tmp/BC4._4036 is available.

[David]

Well mostly fixed. Thanks for the catch. I am putting in the official fix but you can fix your local version by:

1) open up /usr/bin/bcompare (which is a bash script) with an editor
2) change the following lines (two lines from end)

EXIT=`cat /tmp/BC3_.$$`
rm -r /tmp/BC3_.$$

to

EXIT=`cat /tmp/BC4_.$$`
rm -r /tmp/BC4_.$$
