[sword-devel] More installmgr woes...

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Dear Greg,

Someone reported on IRC #sword to me (I thought it might have been you) 
that SWORD 1.6.0 does not error out if it cannot determine your SWORD 
module library path.

This was your first problem: you set SWORD_PATH _after_ you ran installmgr.

svn head should now error out if SWORD isn't configured correctly.

I think installmgr from svn head still silently fails if it doesn't have 
permission to write to the configured SWORD library path.  This is 
slated to be fixed.  My guess is that this might be your second problem 
(write permission to /usr/local/share/sword ?).

Could you try something for me?  Try installing global modules to 
/usr/local/share/sword by becoming root (this will give us a fresh 
~/.sword et. al.):

su -
export SWORD_PATH=/usr/local/share/sword
~greg/src/sword-svn/utilities/installmgr -init
~greg/src/sword-svn/utilities/installmgr -sc
~greg/src/sword-svn/utilities/installmgr -r CrossWire
~greg/src/sword-svn/utilities/installmgr -ri CrossWire KJV

Let me know if it works.

    -Troy.
