Unable to install Perl interpreter on Pandigital Novel #456

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What device(s) are you experiencing the problem on?
Pandigital Novel

What firmware version are you running on the device?
2.1 (not sure if the rooting I attempted was complete, this is the only program 
I've had issues with)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install SL4A (works)
2. Install Perl for Android <-- 'Installation failed'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'm not sure what th exact expected output is, but I would expect to see an 
'Installation Success' message as well as the addition of Perl to my SL4A 
application. 

Instead, I get 'Installation Failed'

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest versions (tested r3 as well, did not affect the issue)

Please provide any additional information below.
Filing bug at Damon's instruction from mailing list. From the information I see 
in logcat, he is on the right path: the issue is in the SD card path:

I/ActivityManager( 1863): Starting activity: Intent { 
act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] 
flg=0x10200000 cmp=com.googlecode.perlforandroid/.PerlMain }
I/ActivityManager( 1863): Start proc com.googlecode.perlforandroid for activity 
com.googlecode.perlforandroid/.PerlMain: pid=2175 uid=10029 gids={3003, 1015}
I/ActivityThread( 2175): Publishing provider

E/sl4a.InterpreterInstaller:219( 2175): Failed to make directories: 
/sdcard/com.googlecode.perlforandroid

It looks like Perl is trying to create /sdcard/com.googlecode.perlforandroid, 
but that folder seems to have permission issues (pointing to the rooting of my 
device being incomplete) and is always empty. However, the folder /PD_Novel/ 
contains everything that is actually on the SD card. Maybe this 'bug' is more 
of a request to allow for installation to separate folders.

fixed permission issues on the /sdcard/ folder by completing the root. this is 
not an sl4a issue, apologies for the unnecessary report.
