Problems upgrading to Oolite 1.80

[Arsemyth]

Hi,

I am trying to upgrade from 1.77 to 1.80.

I have tried using the command oolite-upgrade but I get the message 'command not found'.

I have uninstalled my copy of Oolite 1.77, and downloaded the 1.80 installer from the http://www.oolite.org download page.

It is sitting in my downloads folder as oolite-1.80.linux-x86.tgz. I have extracted oolite-1.80.linux-x86.run from this and double clicked on it.

Nothing happens...

What am I missing here?

All help appreciated!

the installer should be executed by bash, open a terminal and navigate to the folder you extracted the installer to.

then execute ./oolite-1.80.linux-x86.run

Note : you are aware you downloaded the 32-bits version ?
most pcs/laptops newer then 3/4 years run 64-bit linuxes.

Hi Lone_Wolf,

Thanks, that worked a treat.

I am running the software on an old Dell laptop which is very much a 32 bit machine. One day I'll get something a little more up-to-date!!

Just for the record, the command is oolite-update. If you have Oolite installed system-wide, you can just execute it from a command prompt, no matter the path. If Oolite is installed in the user home, then you must define the location path too; ~/GNUstep/Applications/Oolite/oolite-update

Hmm.. but wouldn't the change from terrastorage.dyndns.info to terrastorage.no-ip.info break the update even if the correct command was given? After all, there's no way for it to have been corrected once 1.77.1 was installed.

No it wouldn't.
It would fail for terrastorage and then it would try with alioth server and upgrade from there.
(alioth had an issue with the 64bit linux updates, but I have contacted winston on the matter and this has been fixed)

Anyhow, for Oolite 1.80 I recommend a normal "clean" installation; at least the first time it is installed.

Ahh.. alioth has been failing for so long for me I never even gave it a thought..
