Attempting to install PacketTracerv5.3.3 w/ packettracer AUR package.

I'm attempting to install packet tracer with the instructions I found at: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PacketTracer .  I obtained PacketTracerv5.3.3Application+TutorialGenericFedora.tar.gz from the internet and downloaded the packettracer.tar.gz from the AUR.  I extracted packettracer.tar.gz and moved PacketTracerv5.3.3Application+TutorialGenericFedora.tar.gz to the resulting folder.
When I run makepkg as a normal user, I get the error:
[joshua@mesa packettracer]$ makepkg
==> ERROR: Cannot find the fakeroot binary required for building as non-root user.
When I decide to be bad and try as root, I get the error:
[joshua@mesa packettracer]$ sudo makepkg --asroot
==> Making package: packettracer 6.0.1-2 (Mon Sep  9 18:32:28 EDT 2013)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> Retrieving sources...
==> ERROR: Cisco Packet Tracer 6.0.1 for Linux (with tutorials) was not found in the build directory and is not a URL.
I also tried to just install PacketTracerv5.3.3Application+TutorialGenericFedora.tar.gz via its own install script.  It installs to /opt/pt without error, but when I try to run the start script from there, nothing happens.  I also tried extracting PacketTracerv5.3.3Application+TutorialGenericFedora.tar.gz inside the packettracer directory and running makepkg, but I had no success there either.
I appreciate any help.

So why is fakeroot missing? Or have you installed the base-devel group only now?
VladsMesa wrote:I didn't quite follow wget's comment.  I think I may be in well over my head.
Maybe it's so simple you overlooked it.
The wiki article is out of date. It tells you to use Packet Tracer 5.3.3, when currently you need Packet Tracer 6.0.1:
==> ERROR: Cisco Packet Tracer 6.0.1 for Linux (with tutorials) was not found in the build directory and is not a URL.

  • Attempting to install Creative Cloud Installer crashes my computer

    I am attempting to install Adobe products from Creative Cloud using Creative Cloud installer. I am on a Macbook Pro version 10.6.8 Build 10K459 if that helps at all.
    When I try to install, the authentication window asking for the admin password crashes and I can't type in the window. When I cancel the download, Finder crashes and the only course of action is to reboot the computer manually via the power button.
    I can install other programs which go through the same administrator permission without issue, so I'm quite sure this is not my computer's problem. I have re-downloaded the installer several times to no difference.
    One additional detail that may help is that I had trials of Photoshop and Flash Pro on the same computer in the past, which have been uninstalled.
    Thank you for any help!!

    Just another detail - I was advised to try creating a new user with administrator privilege on my computer, this didn't work either, just had the same problem.

    A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues.
    Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

  • I attempted to install an update to my iTunes and got a "C   Runtime Error" message. Now when I attempt to open iTunes I get a pop up that says to reinstall iTunes. But I can't open iTunes to reinstall it. How can I reinstall iTunes?

    I received notification of ANOTHER iTunes update being available, so I attempted to install the update on my Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows Vista. During the update process, two pop-up announced that I had a "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" Runtime Error, R6034 and another pop-up that states "iTunes" iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. However, I cannot open iTunes. I get the same pop-up telling me to reinstall iTunes.
    I had many songs in my iTunes library that came from sources other than iTunes, mostly my own CDs. Plus, I have nearly $100 credit remaining in the iTunes store. I'm converned I will lose the songs and store credit if I reinstall iTunes. So my questions are:
    1. How can I reinstall iTunes?
    2. If I reinstall it, will I lose my store credit and non-iTunes songs?
    Thanks,
    Jim

  • Attempting to install a compiled 8.6.1 package fails with "NI Variable Engine (higher version already installed)

    This is long as there are a collection of details I thought would be useful.  Please bear with me.
    I have a VI compiled with LV 8.6.1 PDS.  The installer ran on the development machine and it works fine there (WinXP SP3).
    Was handed a laptop (another WinXP SP3) that already had LV 7.0 (academic) on it.  Someone was fiddling with an old version of LV.  OK.
    Wanted to uninstall 7.0 so there would be a clean field for the program compiled under LV 8.6.1.
    So: Start --> Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs and uninstalled "National Instruments Software".  That went smoothly.  It wanted a reboot.  Fine.
    Ran the setup program in my package, the one I'd wanted to install.  No errors.  The following installers were included with the Build:
      * NI LabVIEW Run-Time Engine 8.6.1
      * NI Measurement & Automation Explorer 4.5
      * NI DAQmx 8.8
    By the way, this generated an installation package of "almost" 900 megabytes.
    Connected the hardware (one ethernet-based, another RS-232 based).  Started the program, "EDGAR2".
    First error:
      Unable to locate the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine.
      EDGAR2 requires a version 8.6.1 (or compatible) LabVIEW Run-Time Engine.  Please contact the vendor of EDGAR2 to correct this problem.
    (This is Error1.JPG, attached).
    A check of C:\National Instruments\Shared\LabView Run-Time\8.6 shows that there is only one item in that directory: a sub-directory named "errors".  That's it.  If the executable is looking for something in the 8.6 directory, well, there's nothing there.
    Uninstalled EDGAR2 using the Control Panel.  Reinstalled.  Same problem.
    Downloaded the standalone LabVIEW Run-Time 8.6.1 installer, Standard Edition, from NI's site, unpacked, and ran the setup.exe from that package.
    There is one box with a green checkmark in it:  NI Variable Engine .
    Click Next.  Up pops a pane and Error2.JPG is attached.  It won't continue because the "detected" version of Variable Engine is of a higher revision.
    The "Next>>" button is grayed out.
    Uninstalled EDGAR2 again.  But there was no entry in the Windows uninstall panel for uninstalling any National Instruments software.  This raised a flag in my mind and NI Support was telephoned.
    With the Support Guy running Google searches for relevent topics (I'd done some of that, too), a number of things were tried.. ending up with deleting everything in C:\Program Files\National Instruments while in Safe Mode, everything in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments, going through the Windows Registry with REGEDIT, uninstalls and attempted reinstalls.  Nope, nothing worked.  That defective Variable Engine seems glued into the system
    The application can't find the 8.6.1 run-time because it doesn't exist.  It doesn't exist because both the standalone and built-in installers see a Variable Engine of a higher version installed and apparently won't install over it.  There is no uninstall for any NI software in the Windows Control Panel --> Add/Remove pane and so I can't seem to get rid of this Variable Engine.
    At this point, the Support guy says, "Time to reimage your computer.  Call us for anything else.. you know we're here for you."
    This is the first trouble I've had installing a compiled VI.  All other packages built with 8.6.1 PDS just slid right in.
    There's been a LOT of software installed on the target over the years and going on the proverbial "scavenger hunt" to locate all of the installation disks will be a time-consuming task (a week is a conservative estimate).  Is there a solution to this problem?  Where are the installers "looking" for the Variable Engine revision level?  Is there a specific Registry key that can be adjusted?
    Went looking through the WinXP Event log.  No errors are popping up there.
    Your time is appreciated.

    Hi Mark,
    I'm sorry to hear your having trouble installing the LabVIEW 8.6.1 Run-Time Engine.  It sounds like there could be a few problems going on here.  First, you should have more options when installing the Run-Time Engine than just the Variable Engine.  If you uncheck the Variable Engine, does it try to install anything?  Second, not being able to install the Variable Engine suggests that there may be something wrong with your registry.  If you removed all National Instruments keys when cleaning the registry, then this shouldn't be a problem.
    At this point, there are a couple things I would suggest.  Unfortunately, the best solution would probably be to reformat.  It sounds like some low level parts have been corrupted and this would be the quickest way to fix everything for sure.  Other than that, you can try installing the full 8.6.1 Development System on the computer.  This will install the Run-Time Engine on the computer.  You can simply not activate the software, which means you won't be able to edit anything.  You will be able to run the program, though.

  • Attempting to INSTALL Flash Player 17, on WIndows 7, Firefox 36.0.1-why did I never used to have a problem?

    I am using Windows 7, Firefox 36.0.1, and attempting to INSTALL Flash Player 17. I never had problems until about a year ago, the way the installation & set up was so easy...now, I fight with it for days every month when a new update is ready. There used to be 2-3 easy steps to follow; now I click to download, watch the diagram until it finishes, find the icon on my desktop, and click it again (presumbly to download & install), and it disappears. I do not know where or how to see it; a few minutes later I go to my Firefox Plug in Check page...and it shows that it still is not update! So I go through the whole friggan process again...WHY????

    Hello,
    Please do the following:
    Download the uninstaller, Uninstall Flash Player | Windows
    Download the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page in the 'Still having problems' section
    Run the uninstaller
    Reboot your system
    Run the installer
    After installation completes, go to Flash Player Help and click on the 'Check Now' button.  The results should indicate that you have the latest version, 17.0.0.134, installed.

    I am running IE 11 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Service Pack 1. When I attempt to install Flash Player, it goes through all of the steps, tells me the player is installed, and welcomes me. I cannot open the player and it does not appear in the Start Menu, Task Manager, System Tray, or anywhere else. When I try to open a file, the site tells me Flash player is not installed. I have even downloaded it to a separate folder and ran the install with IE shut down completely. And Shockwave in ENABLED but in 32 bit .I have been trying to get this to work for about 3 weeks now.  HELP!!!

    Flash Player is a browser add-on, not an executable program.
    If you need to open a local SWF file you will need the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you will need to make the file association manually.

    Am I even clicking the correct file in the folder? Or is my computer just not going to work with Adobe Photoshop CS4?

    I am about to run specialized GIS software that may or may not need the full machine resources. I am an attorney who uses QuickBooks for my accounting.

It does not support QuickBooks Windows version per Parallels. Any other questions? I am a highly competent PC user who is new to Macs. I am entitled to my own configuration choices. That said, I know when I need help which is now.
    As to the free space issue I have 665.18 GB free space out of 749.3 GB on the drive. I am not trying to run the 32 bit version. I know that it requires the 64 bit version. Besides, it does not get that far in the process. As I said Boot Camp asssitant terminates unexpectedly as soon as you hit the continue button after setting the partition size. Therefore I conclude that it does not have a chance to see which version of Windows that I am using. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit version in the virtual engine (to use Parallels speak), but again Boot Camp would not see that since it is not running. It can't run at the momenet because Apple just installed a new hard drive and I have just restored the data from TIme Machine and Parallels needs reactivated, which I have not done yet deliberatley. With all of this addtiional information do you have any further suggestions? Thanks for your time and interest my issue.
