Problem with TT demo installation

#1 I have had issues with other shar's before, how did you dl the demo?
issues I had in the past dealt with dl'ing a shar via nutscrape (netsscape) which
correupted the file. I fixed this by using one of the text based browsers

#2 That could be caused by either your hard drive being full or not having permissions set up to install in the given directory. I'll check with John (our linux guru) to see what else could cause that.

#3 First thing I would check is disk space. You'll need roughly 20mb to extract the installer, then another 25mb to install it (45mb total).

If that doesn't work, check the archive integrity. It claims the archive is ok but just to be safe run "md5sum" on it. Should be:

4d79cc99689beee293e006a69da23a09 ThinkTanksDemo_v1.01.sh.bin

If the md5 is ok, its probably a permission issue. I need to do some research to figure out where makeself creates temporary directories.

#4 I have about 800 mb free space, so I think this isn't a problem. MD5 sum is OK (BTW I downloaded file using ftp client -KGet). So maybe you're right abou permissions, so I'll wait for your research results :-)

#5 Jarek, what are the permissions on your /tmp directory?

ls -ld /tmp

#6 It's something like that:
[root@Swantewit lehardi]# ls -ld /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 12 root root 416 maj 8 10:27 /tmp/

P.S. I'm running TT demo install as root.

Best regards

#7 Hmm...not permissions then. Try running the installer with --keep. This wil create a directory called "LokiSetup" in your working directory. Inside that directory is a tar file called ThinkTanks.tar.gz. Make sure you can read that tar file by running

tar -tvzf ThinkTanks.tar.gz

#8 When I added option --keep then setup started and I could install TT demo normally! And I hadn't untar the archiwe. Big thanks for your help!
