Hi! I'm using Debian woody(unstable version) and I'm trying to install XFree86 4.3. I downloaded Xinstall.sh and run: # sh Xinstall sh -check Checking which OS you're running... uname reports 'Linux' version '2.4.18', architecture 'i686' Object format is 'ELF'. libc version is '6.3.2' (6.3). Binary distribution name is 'Linux-ix86-glibc23' If you don't ... So, I downloaded all "http://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.3.0/binaries/Linux- ix86-glibc23/" files. After this, I did: # sh Xinstall.sh the Xinstall.sh script prompted some questions and asked if I want to continue: Do you wish to continue? (y/n) [n] y Checking which OS you're running... uname reports 'Linux' version '2.4.18', architecture 'i686' Object format is 'ELF'. libc version is '6.3.2' (6.3). Xinstall.sh: line 1050: 1852 Segmentation fault $TAR xzf $VERSTARBALL $VERSIONFILE Warning: can't detect the bindist version ... ... argh!!!!!! I don't know what happened! :( I run this same installation other times and everything was successfull. I think that is some problem with extract command. So, if I run, 4 exemple: # chmod +x extract # ./extract Xdoc.tgz (or any other tgz file I got:) == Extracting Xdoc.tgz == Segmentation Fault So, I try to do a shell script with something like this: #!/bin/bash tar zxf $1 I named it 'extract' and did 'chmod +x extract', but it didn't work! :( The Xinstall.sh script said that extract command was bad, rename it to extract.bad and re-create extract file. Does someone can help me? All pointers/suggestions gratefully accepted. Thank you.
