One line installer fails
haslinger opened this issue · comments
One line installer fails on fresh Ubuntu 14.04.1 server with
xiki-master/bin/xsh: line 279: emacsclient: command not found so I installed emacs & installed again without any further errors.
The script installs libyaml-0-2:amd64 (0.1.4-3ubuntu3.1), ruby (1:1.9.3.4), ruby1.9.1 (1.9.3.484-2ubuntu1.2), libruby1.9.1 (1.9.3.484-2ubuntu1.2) but no emacs.
I have a backup of the virtual machine state before, so I can retry whenever you prefer for as often as you like. :-)
On Yosemite the install fails even if Emacs.app is installed because the xiki installer tries to use the emacsclient installed by the OS instead:
emacsclient: invalid option -- t
Try `emacsclient --help' for more information
Symlinking /usr/local/bin/emacsclient to /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient solves the problem.
What does your $PATH look like? If you have /usr/local/bin/ at the
beginning, it should get the right one.
I'm sorry, I was being unclear: I did not have Emacs.app's emacsclient in /usr/local/bin/ to begin with, which is why xiki initially found the one installed by the OS in /usr/bin/. I had to manually symlink Emacs.app's emacsclient to /usr/local/bin/ to make xiki installation work.
either look for a different emacsclient, or just use the emacs binary in
Emacs.app (so people that who want the Emacs.app's emacsclient to be first
in the path don't have to change anything).
It would be excellent if xiki could search for alternative emacsclients if the first one it finds doesn't work. Unfortunately, the one installed by Emacs.app in /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/ will probably not be in the path for most people, so perhaps the xiki installer should ask the user for permission to symlink it to /usr/local/bin/ if necessary?
Thanks a lot for xiki by the way - it looks amazing!

Please try again with the latest one-line installer from xiki.com
Before you install anything on your vm, please tell me what the output of
this is:
$ emacs_version=emacs --version 2>&1
$ echo $emacs_version
It shouldn't be going to the emacsclient... line in xiki-master/bin/xsh
unless your emacs version is 23 or 24, in which case emacsclient should
exist (and presumably be in your path).
On a more general note, I haven't had this problem with ubuntu 14.04.
Stop into http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=xiki if you're around, and
can provide more clues!

The output of the tasks is as follows:
stefan@kant:~$ emacs_version=`emacs --version 2>&1`
stefan@kant:~$ echo $emacs_version
Das Programm »emacs« ist in folgenden Paketen enthalten: * emacs24 * emacs24-nox * e3 * emacs23 * emacs23-lucid * emacs23-nox * emacs24-lucid * jove Versuchen Sie: sudo apt-get install <ausgewähltes Paket>And the output of the installing process is the old one, this time in it's full glory:

It looks like you haven't yet installed the dependencies
xsh needs. Install them? (You can optionally install the
dependencies yourself first.)

stefan@kant:~/xiki-master/bin$ So maybe the clue is, that it's not running in the English locale?
I'm GMT +2 over here and quite busy these days, but I will chime in the chat every now and then ...
Next:
stefan@kant:~$ emacs --version

Versuchen Sie: sudo apt-get install <ausgewähltes Paket>A working one liner for Ubuntu (also working if installed with a locale different from en_GB) is:
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8; LANGUAGE="en_EN"; cd ~; curl -LO https://github.com/trogdoro/xiki/archive/master.tar.gz ; tar xzf master.tar.gz; cd xiki-master/bin; ./clearxsh; ./xshStefan and I tracked this down in the #xiki irc channel, and I just did a push that should fix it. Thanks for the troubleshooting help, Stefan!
