installing elan for linux
Dear all,<br>I tried to install elan on ubuntu but it doesent install. Can you say me how to proceed?<br><br>Thank you<br><br>Anna<br>
Re: installing elan for linux
Are there any error messages, e.g. if you run the installer from a terminal window?
There may be an issue with permissions; you may have to run the installer as 'root' (or do a 'sudo').

Re: installing elan for linux
Ubuntu does not have a root account by default, so you'll have to use sudo:
open a terminal window,
cd /path/to/download/location
chmod 755 ELAN_30_linux_install.bin
sudo ./ELAN_30_linux_install.bin
Re: Re: installing elan for linux
thank you for your answer. I followed your instructions but (I think) the program doesn't install. Here is the script:
adiagne@IPK7:~$ cd /home/adiagne
adiagne@IPK7:~$ chmod 755 ELAN_30_linux_install.bin
adiagne@IPK7:~$ sudo ./ELAN_30_linux_install.bin

Can you help?

Re: Re: Re: installing elan for linux
sed -i "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" ELAN_30_linux_install.bin
Afterwards, the installation should succeed. However the same issue seems to appear in the JMF library. I'll try to have a closer look at it.
best regards,

Re: Re: Re: Re: installing elan for linux
before running the installer do this (on the command line):
sed -i "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" ELAN_30_linux_install.bin
Now run the installer.
After the installation, go to the directory where elan is installed and execute the following command:
sed -i "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" ELAN_3.0
Now you should be able to run elan. (We have tested this on ubuntu 6.10) Can you let us know whether this solves your problem?
Best regards,
Dieter

Hi,<br><br>I had the same problem on Ubuntu 7.04. <br>I applied Dieter's suggestion from above, and that did the trick: installation worked and running Elan works as well.<br><br>Would've been nice if there was a 'known issues'-link on the downloads-page and info like this would be avaiable there.<br><br>Thanks anyway for solving this.<br><br>Bas.<br><br><br>
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: installing elan for linux
For the sake of completeness: this issue has been fixed in the latest release of ELAN (3.1.0)<br>
