Testing @shoes .deb for Ubuntu

gistfile1.md

Ok, so you're interested in testing my Shoes for Ubuntu .deb. Good luck.

So, here's the deal:

YOU CAN BREAK YOUR SYSTEM

Requirements:

• Ubuntu 11.10

• A willingness to break your system.

• First, add the PPA.https://launchpad.net/~jamesgifford/+archive/shoesrb

• The command for that is sudo apt-add-repository ppa:jamesgifford/shoesrb && sudo apt-get update

• Then, you'll need to install shoes. sudo apt-get install shoes

• Ok, now run shoes in a terminal.

Info I need:

• The errors (as mentioned above).

Paste all (if any) errors here on gist/pastebin, and then either leave a comment here with a link, or send me a tweet @jrgifford.

Ok, now that you've helped me, you can remove it using the following:

sudo dpkg -r shoes

That'll remove the shoes package and will also "fix" the dependency issues.

Here's the output of my ubuntu 11.4 try.
It seems to install ok but if i type shoes at the terminal bash complains about shoes not being installed..

@catsqutol Can you try `/opt/shoes` for me? Due to the "correct" way of doing ruby packaging that was the place to put it.

I did notice a new shoes launcher in the applications tab.
pointing to opt/shoes/shoes
when typing that into bash i get the following error.

there was a lib issue in some previous shoes commits.
They were corrected last night. so maybe if you make another test with the most recent commit. that might just solve these problems..
the error is strikingly similar.

Thanks, I'll look into that. Unfortunately my dev machine is dead (11.10 kinda killed itself last night) so I have to get it back up first - might be a day or two before I get it re-built.

@Catsquotl Give the latest .deb a go - direct link

Hi,

hereś the pastie with the bash output of deb4
http://pastie.org/2681348
no luck in installing this way yet..
Also double clicking the debfile from a browser makes the ubuntu software centre open,but not install due to some ownership errors..

@Catsquotl I'm doing it one think at a time - if you can try running /opt/shoes in a terminal and see what happens, that'd be good. The stuff with dependency issues is only there because I'm not 100% sure what shoes actually needs. To remove the .deb, run sudo dpkg -r shoes.

Here you go...

You're on 11.04, correct? That'd be the problem, the lib multiarch (64 and 32 bit stuff) went overboard with 11.10...
