[URGENT] Scratchbox installation issue in one KDE version(Pardus Linux 2011)

[Renjith G]

hi all,

I have tried to install the maemo-sdk 5 kit in my Pardus linux
machine(x86_64).

Courtesy :
http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo5_Final_Installation#Installing_Maemo_5_SDK_on_x86-32_Debian_based_distribution

For that i need to

1. Install the scratchbox
2.Install the sdk tools

I have followed the below steps and installed the scratchbox in my
machine as the first step.

*1.$ wget -c
http://repository.maemo.org/stable/5.0/maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0.sh
http://repository.maemo.org/stable/5.0/maemo-sdk-install_5.0.sh
2.$ chmod a+x ./maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0.sh ./maemo-sdk-install_5.0.sh
3.$ sudo ./maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0.sh -s /scratchbox -F -u <user>
4.$ newgrp sbox
5.$ sudo chmod +x ./maemo-sdk-install_5.0.sh
6.$ ./maemo-sdk-install_5.0.sh
7.$ /scratchbox/login*

But after installation(ie step 6) i am getting some error on the
execution of the step 7

****@pardus2011 ~/meamo5sdk $ /scratchbox/login
ERROR: Scratchbox is not properly set up!
*
Also i tried the commands,

****@pardus2011 ~/meamo5sdk $ sudo /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl start
Starting Scratchbox:
*
The terminal become stuck on this statement and i can't do anything even
after the above command unless after a "Ctrl+Z'
*
***@pardus2011 ~/meamo5sdk $ sudo /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl restart
Password:
Stopping Scratchbox: umount,
*
The terminal become stuck on this statement and i can't do anything even
after the above command unless after a "Ctrl+Z'
*
*After this issue with the scratchbox , I can't able install the
maemo-sdk 5 tool kits, that is I am getting the following error on
executing that script.
*
Scratchbox installation found... yes*
*E: Scratchbox user's /dev is not properly set up. Couldn't read /dev/null.
E: Start scratchbox service with 'sudo /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl start'.
E: Specify an alternative installation path using '-s PATH' option.*

My ultimate aim is to port my pardus linux(a KDE flavour) into ARM
architecture and need to test it in a QEMU in my machine itself(pardus)

Can you please help me.This is someway urgent to me.

What is the issue with the installation of scratchbox in my KDE
machine.It is having linux kernel 2.6.37


Expecting your reply,


Many kind regards,

Which version do you use, Corporate 2 or 2011? There is a problem with glibc version on Pardus 2011. When I was trying to prepare PARM 2011 (Pardus ARM 2011) toolchain, I had some problems with qemu. I offer you to use Corporate 2 with your works, because PARM C2 will be released before PARM P11.

You can emerge sbox2 and fakeroot from my playground since I haven't put them in review.

$ sudo pisi bi http://svn.pardus.org.tr/pardus/playground/memre/fakeroot/pspec.xml http://svn.pardus.org.tr/pardus/playground/memre/scratchbox2/pspec.xml -ydv
$ sudo pisi it *pisi -y
