Installer problem on Raspberry Pi running Ubuntu 20.04 #357

Closed robtweed closed 3 years ago

robtweed commented 3 years ago

The following lines in the installer need to be amended to allow installations on the recently-available Ubuntu 20.04 version for Raspberry Pi:

if [ "ubuntu" = "${osid}" -a 1 = `expr "$osmajorver" ">" "18"` ] || [ 1 = `expr "$osmajorver" "=" "18"` -a 1 = `expr "$osminorver" ">=" "10"` ] ; then
    if [ ! -f /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5 ] ; then
        echo "libtinfo5 package is required to be installed on Ubuntu 18.10 or greater using 'sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends libtinfo5'"
        err_exit
    fi
fi

When libtinfo5 is installed on the Raspberry Pi, it is put into /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu rather than /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

As a workaround to get past this check in the installer, I added a symbolic link for the offending file to the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu directory and it completed successfully, with YottaDB working OK on the Raspberry Pi on Ubuntu 20.04 server. However it would be better if the installer could be modified appropriately

@robtweed I have created https://gitlab.com/YottaDB/DB/YDB/-/issues/654 for this. In general, please create issues at https://gitab.com/YottaDB/YDB as that is where YottaDB software is developed. GitHub is just a backup mirror.
