Installation help
Hello,

It probably is that I'm lacking some linux knowledge, but I got stuck. I'm unable to use/install the package on Linux Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit. I downloaded bxh_xcede_tools-1.11.1-lsb30.x86_64 and unpacked it. But what shoud I do next? I wanted to start with dicom2bxh, but calling this file after navigating in terminal to the bin folder just results in an error:
  • "command not found" when calling like this: dicom2bxh
  • "No such file or directory" when calling like this: ./dicom2bxh
Can anyone point me, what I should do to get this working?

Thanks,
Piotr

RE: Installation help
Do you have LSB installed?  Try:

  apt-get install lsb-core

RE: Installation help
Hi Syam,

That is correct. I haven't installed LSB yet. Though, it seems I can't do it. I run into dependency issues. The terminal output is:


Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
lsb-core : Depends: alien (>= 8.36) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libc6-i386 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: lib32z1 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


I tried the following and few others that suggested fixes:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/26494/cant-install-lsb-core-on-ubuntu-server-11-10 , http://askubuntu.com/questions/140246/how-do-i-resolve-unmet-dependencies-after-adding-a-ppa

But got nowhere - can't manually install the missing dependencies either. I'll try to get some IT suuport on this side to resolve the LSB issue, but if solution to this is known to you, let me know.

Thanks for now,
Piotr

RE: Installation help
I don't think I have any insight into this beyond the searches you've already done. Adding the "-f" option seems to be the most popular suggestion. I don't read Polish, but this page seems to match your problem:

https://forum.dobreprogramy.pl/instalacj...

But that suggests the same -f trick. I hope your IT folks will be able to figure it out.

RE: Installation help
The link, you sent, didn't help.

Though, I managed to install the lsb-core. After taking the vritual machine few snapshots back, the installation went through. I must have messed up the system on the way.

What do I do next? I am still getting the "command not found" error, when trying to run the "dicom2xcede" from the directory it is in.

Thank you for taking me through this.

RE: Installation help
Did you try adding the ./ before the command name? i.e.:

./dicom2bxh

If the directory is not on your PATH, you have to give a directory before the executable name, even if it is the current directory (./).

RE: Installation help
Syam,
Much thanks for your assistance.

Summing up.

For the tool to function in Ubuntu 14.04 64-but, installation of lsb-core is required. This can be done by using:
apt-get install lsb-core

Afterwards, a program dicom2bxh can be called by: ./dicom2bxh
If added to system PATH, then can be called from anywhere in the system.
