Its an AMD64 dual athlon processor so I loaded the amd64 version of ubuntu 9.04 rc I've found that with all of the installs of Eagle v 5.0 to 5.5 it will install in /opt. When I initially upgraded to 9.04 from 8.10 eagle was running fine , no problems. Since the last few updates eagle stopped functioning. The installer now fails at the point of creating the temp file to unpack the tar ball in the installer. hence the reason and on advice of Cadsoft Eagle to strip the first part of the installer out and just leave the tar ball which will install into~/eagle-5.5.0. It installs the whole package in that directory so there are no calls to external libs, which will give problems. Last night I installed 8.10 giving up on 9.04 at the moment,only to find that the same happens in 8.10. So somewhere between 8.04 and now eagle was happy running on existing libs. these would have been flushed with the install of 9.04. There have been multiple installs over these last few days of 9.04. As well as Mandriva2009 86_64 on another partition which eagle runs OK in. Also uninstalling eagle and running from the tar ball works on MDv as well as Open suse 11.the later running on a VM. Eagle of course runs happily in a 8.10 i386 VM, but Vitualbox wont handle the USB connections through it. It should but without the use of a printer I'm stuck I'm stuck in the position that I'm using Eagle on the MDV partition, as its not functioning at all in ubuntuamd64. I move last year from Mandriva to ubuntu last year because of the better support of Ham and Audio apps . The priority now is Eagle as without that I cant do some of my work. Unless this can be sorted quickly I will have no alternative but to return to Mandriva. This means that some Ham apps will be a pig to run, but all will compile -- Best wishes Richard Bown ######################################################################### Registered Linux User 36561 OS: Ubuntu 9.04, Jaunty -dev, on AMD Dual Athlon 64 +4400: 8 GB RAM DDR2 Ham Call: G8JVM , QRA IO82SP, Interests Microwave ######################################################################### -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
