Do you have /var or /tmp as symbolic link? |

Having done that, all seems OK. :-+ --- End quote --- Good :) --- Quote from: ralphrmartin on December 25, 2017, 05:32:54 pm ---Oops, spoke too soon. While snap install worked OK, I now get bash: lxi: command not found Am I doing something silly? --- End quote --- I don't think so. Actually, the snap binaries are prefixed with the name of the snap. So in case of lxi-tools the lxi binary is named "lxi-tools.lxi". However, the lxi-tools snap recently gained support for adding the automatic alias lxi -> lxi-tools.lxi when installing so the lxi command should just work. You can list the installed aliases like so: --- Code: ---snap aliases --- End code --- If the alias is not listed you can install it manually: --- Code: ---snap alias lxi-tools.lxi lxi --- End code --- You might also consider using Debian stable. I mean, Debian testing can include broken stuff :) |

FYI - lxi-tools was recently picked up by a Debian package maintainer so I expect to see it available in Debian stable in about 1 year or so :) Of course, it will be available in unstable/testing long before that. |

Hmm snap aliases gives Command Alias Notes lxi-tools.lxi lxi - so that does not seem to be the problem. Neither /var nor /tmp are aliases. snap version now gives snap version snap 2.27.6-2 snapd 2.27.6-2 series 16 debian unknown kernel 4.13.0-1-amd64 Any either ideas on how to get this to run? Even trying to run it as root gives permission errors - and it is not on my path... |

You can try disable this confinement like so: --- Code: ---$ snap refresh lxi-tools --devmode --- End code --- Or --- Code: ---$ snap refresh lxi-tools --classic --- End code --- Either way, I think your best option is to use Debian stable since it includes the latest snap version (2.29.x) which is tested to work. However, if you don't feel like distro downgrading/upgrading you can always compile and install it manually from source as described in the top post of this thread (see e.g. git build steps). If you feel brave I have also attached the pre-release .deb packages that I got from the Debian maintainer - I have tested them with Debian 9.3. P.s. If you get it up and running feel free to let us know what specific instruments you might have tested successfully. Thanks. |
