Hello Paul and everyone,
Since I had complained about difficulties in building coot from subersion on Ubuntu Jaunty , I  thought I should write in to say that I tried building the subversion revision 2021 on ubuntu 9.04 from scratch and it builds just fine and everything works great

However the "build-it-gtk2-simple python" build script seems to always build into two directories
the :
$AUTOBUILD_BUILD/coot-pre-release-gtk2-python
AND
$AUTOBUILD_BUILD/coot-Linux-i686-ubuntu-9.04-gtk2-python
 
For my 32 bit 9.04 running ubuntu the coot-pre-release-gtk2-python/bin/coot binary works just fine .

The coot-Linux-i686-ubuntu-9.04-gtk2-python/bin/coot stops with a message (GThread-ERROR **: GThread system may only be initialized once.). Is that because it may be a 64 bit build?

So I am guessing I have to give some command line switch to the script to suppress the i686 build on this ubuntu 32bit 9.04 box.

Regardless I am happily cooting with the latest build on Jaunty jackalope.
Thanks a tonne
Hari

Hello ,
The jaunty 32 bit build seems to fail ( with subversion revision 2002 as well)
It seems like based on what Ed Pozharsky wrote in ..its a problem with guile
in Ubuntu jaunty (9.04) ..
 
On my 32 bit , 9.04 installation , the build-it-gtk2-simple script chugs along fine and then declares the following contradictory message


checking for Clipper... yes
Congratulations, you are using Guile
checking for guile... no
configure: error: guile required but not found

Regardless ..I will try Bill Scots or the CCP4 wiki  method of separately compiling all the coot dependencies . But though I would wrote in to inquire if there was already a simpler fix.

Thanks

Hari

Hi ..I tried a coot subversion (revision 1994) built-it-simple python on the newest ubuntu 9.04

The build crashes just after it builds guile and ( 16-coot.txt in the build directory ) reads :

./build-it-gtk2-simple: line 2742: [: =: unary operator expected
NO need to update libtool /home/hari/autobuild/ex-charlie_2009-05-08__T20_14_49/coot-0.6-pre-1
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

This happens only on the new ubuntu (on a 32 bit 9.04 system) .
I was able to build this revision without any problem on Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit

Thanks update_libtool is not set sometimes, so using it as in 1994 is wrong.  I've tweaked the script.

But the problem for you lies above that..

Hmm!  what went wrong there..?

I'll try to build from scratch on Jaunty myself.

Cheers,

Paul.
