VM Tools install fails: "command not found"

Hi guys,
I'm running a Linux Mint guest on Win7 x32 using VMWare Player 6.0.5. It's basically going well, but I'm unable to install Tools. I open a terminal in the directory of the extracted files, then run the command under SUDO, but the command is not found. I'm attaching a shot of the command line and the target directory.
I re-extracted the Tools package, which is why the folder has " (2) appended to it, but that made no difference. Any help would be appreciated.

Please put your script between "code" format delimiters.
http://wiki.oracle.com/page/Oracle+Discussion+Forums+FAQ
You can add the line "set -x" at the beginning of your script to see at which line it fails? I suspect the . ./env line.

[SOLVED] node package manager: command not found

I installed nodejs, and it was working fine. I updated a couple of days ago, and now npm install and npm lead to
zsh: command not found
Node has some naming conflicts, from what I have read. I am confused as to how the namespace for packages works, but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction with this because, while confusing, I don't think it is causing the problem. I usually execute the application as node, but it is in the repositories as nodejs. I found node in /usr/bin. I can execute npm there, but it advises that npm should be run in a normal shell with a different directory, not in /usr/bin. There was no nodejs or npm.
I removed nodejs using
pacman -Rdd nodejs
since adom has dependencies, but when I tried to reinstall using
pacman -S nodejs
, it said it was up to date and reinstalled. I updated my system and rebooted. I still can execute node but not the npm-it still returns
zsh: command not found: npm
I have no idea why the node package manager disappearred. I also have no idea why it would not have reinstalled with nodejs from the repo.

Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Installation on Windows 2003
Re: Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Installation on Windows 2003
If you have a VC98, you are using Visual Studio 6. You need to be using Visual Studio 8, and set the Visual Studio directory in Rapidwiz to d:\Tools\MSVS\VC.
The Vision installation of Oracle Applications has had Oracle Financials implemented for the fictitious company Vision Corporation from the beginning, 10.7 I believe, but definitely every 11i release has financials plus every other product licensed. Not all the newest products are fully implemented, but they are licensed.

What would cause this? Old code? Missing package?

It was actually really old code, after a bit of successful this-should-probably-work script editing! I created a package in the AUR called dasm, which is an assembler for the Atari 2600 among many other systems.

Check /var/abs/extra/eclipse/eclipse.install. Typo in post_remove: post-install should be post_install. You can run the post_install manually (and maybe report this in the bug tracker), but it just updates the gtk icon cache, so it's nothing to worry about.

I followed all the directions in Doc ID: 339510.1.
During installation i choose this path as the ORACLE_HOME
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/
I did not however installed the default database.
I then ran the two scripts at the end of the installation as root.
Here are my settings:
oracle bash_profile:
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

[SOLVED]/usr/lib/arch-tempfiles line 106: install:command not found

Hi everyone!
This is my boot.log
http://pastebin.com/1gfynhSN
It says"/usr/lib/initscripts/arch-tmpfiles:line 106: install:command not found".This is leading to problems such as dbus and network manager not being started(even manually),no shutdown option,not able to 'open' log files without sudo etc.
I think a possible reason for this is that I had messed up with symlinks.I had issued the command
sudo ln -s /bin/install /usr/bin/install
.Then I had used
cd /bin/
unlink install
Now,I find that /bin/install and /usr/bin/install does not exist.(I have deleted them!) .How can I fix this up?Any help would be appreciated.

Installing mysql:sudo launchctl: command not found

After several days of reading about:
Installation of MySQL
Enabling apache server
And getting phpMyAdmin up
I have run into an obstacle. See error message below **
I am Running:
'Mountain lion' , 'Mac OS X 10.8.3'
I have downloaded:
MySQL version. Mac OS X 10.7. (X86, 64-bit), DMG Archive.
Within this forum I found a very brief but helpful 'user tip' post.
Link1.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3082
Where this sentence lead me to believe I could use the version listed above.
There is NO version for 10.8
" Download MySQL from a local mirror. You want the Mac OS X ver. 10.6 (x86, 64-bit), DMG Archive. At the time of writing this User Tip, the current version is 5.5.34. By the time you read this, there may be a newer version to use instead. Open the archive mysql-5.5.34-osx10.6-x86_64.dmg. "
Following the instructions on link1, and all went well until
I am getting this error message when I type the following command at the terminal prompt:
**Error message
-bash: launchctl: command not found.
1. I cd - changed directories all the way back up the file structure to type the command
to see if it needed to be run someplace special but the same error came up.
2. I searched here on this forum and on the web.
3. I went back and checked over every step and everything that i typed.
4. I ended up typing the instructions below by hand
because somewhere I read that a copy/paste may insert invisible characters.
Excerpt from link1.
sudo vi /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.mysql.mysql.plist
Use the following content:
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>KeepAlive</key>
    <true/>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>com.mysql.mysqld</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
    <string>/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe</string>
    <string>--user=mysql</string>
    </array>
</dict>
</plist>
Can someone please explain what I am missing ?
Why is this command
-bash: launchctl: command not found.
That is launch c t lowercase L not number 1
An added note.
The following link also had a very nice set of instructions but unlike link1, this link uses the
'Preference pane' and 'startup item' which link1 discourages because it causes problems down the road.
I would rather use the command line and do not want to give up on this method.
Link2.

Now that I am going head strong with this project, I hope that my issue can be resolved quickly with this community
so I don't loose my momentum.
Thanks a lot.

1. You are really a nice person. Thank you. I really want to understand these file structures. Sorry my posts are lengthy.
Thank you for taking the time to look at the original User Tip.
2. I hope that you do not end this thread when I tell you that I actually have gotten php running. These concepts are still very important to me.
I am not up to the point where I am using mySQL so that may end up another troubleshooting problem.
3. Last week and this I have been exploring my files with terminal by cd-ing up and down; using sudo nano to open the file to see what is in there.
I have included some things that may be useful since you have a much better idea about how these paths work.
4. If you have a chance - Can you elaborate. I understand a PATH. What to you mean when you say PATH environmental variable.
I think of a variable in the computer programmer syntax sense.
5. I also cannot find a .profile file anywhere. See the below.... where I found something....
4. Searching like crazy for the load executable. I cannot find it yet. I thought that it might be with the other commands in /bin
below are some exploratory commands I am running and things I find of interest.
I use ls -la to display 'all' files. I use -la to list hidden files. those that start with a dotFileName.
/user/local/mysql/bin
there is NO load executable here.
I looked around for 'load'
macBookPro: /shortname$ ls
cd bin
ls -la
lots of commands: launchctl mkdir pwd echo ....   i thought that 'load' should live here.
cd etc
ls -la
has:apache2 my.conf named.conf passwd paths php.ini sudoes nanorc

nanorc
php.ini

sudo nano paths
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/bin
I did not find the .profile file. what I have found is the below which references the .profile for sh(1)
I am unable to interpret the below file/code - well maybe a little.
cd etc
ls -la
sudo nano profile
# System-wide .profile for sh(1)

Lircd: command not found after install of lirc

Hi!
I've had some problems with lirc and had to uninstall it from my system. I also deleted
the files named lirc* after I uninstalled. I then cleaned the pacman cache and reinstalled
lirc.
I did this in a hope of getting a complete reinstall of lirc. The installation went fine, but my
system doesn't seem to see that lirc has been reinstalled. When I do #lircd (which used to
start lircd) I get #bash: lircd: command not found
I've tried to reinstall several more times by #pacman -S lirc and it runs through the installation.
I still get #bash: lircd: command not found though.
What am I doing wrong? Why won't lirc go back to working like it should do after reinstallation??

The lircd daemon expects to be run at startup and needs root permissions because it will create device nodes in /dev. Try "man lircd" for more information.
To run lircd at startup, add it to the DAEMONS line in /etc/rc.conf. If needed, add any necessary kernel module to the MODULES line of /etc/rc.conf while you're there. As an example, I have MODULES=(lirc-mceusb2) for my trusty Microsoft MCE remote control and DAEMONS=(@lircd).
That did it!! Thanks.
I spent hours and hours yesterday trying to figure out how to autostart lircd. Now everything works.
When I try #irw every button I push is mapped with the right name and function. But in Freevo things are not that smooth. It seems
freevo only understands a few of the buttons.
I've seen that in myth there's a config file (or something) that seems to map out the remote functions in relation to myth itself. Do I
need a similar config file for freevo?
EDIT: nwm... I found out that yes, I do.

Ldconfig: command not found

I just did a pacman -Syu and something went terribly wrong.
Whenever i try to install a new program i get something like this:
$ pacman -S glibc

any ideas?

Have all the users with GNOME started a root's Terminal window???
I've noticed that using the Gnome's root terminal messes up the $PATH variable (as of today)... when i start archlinux (note: i don't use GDM) my path is:
/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin....
and many other items... but when a root terminal is started inside gnome, $PATH changes to:
/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin:/etc
And ldconfig will fail... (and any other tool in /sbin) this change is restricted to this window only. If you exit the root terminal and go to a normal terminal, the path is what is expected.
This happens on a clean reformatted machine, installed archlinux, doing a pacman -Syu, installing gnome and all extras (including system administrations tools) (as tested today).
Maybe some config file is messed or is a bug from the Gnome guys...
Anyways the only workaround i can think is to start a normal terminal (for the guys that use gnome or use GDM to start their machines) and in the terminal doing a "su -" to got root access (of course will ask for the password) and then update/install/whatever you want with pacman.
And sorry about my english.
