SAS 9.2 Linux 64-bit installation woes
Jason Kindall
I'm having one heck of a time getting SAS 9.2 installed on Intrepid.
I have an installation DVD from the software folks at my university
(not UofA). Anyone got any experience with this software?

Windows software?
- If yes, latest wine (from Intrepid repos) installed?
- - If yes, any messages from wine?
- - - If yes, post relevant ones; if you don't know if it's relevant post it.
- - - If no, try turning up wine's verbosity and DEBUG messages; man wine
probably has instructions.
- - If no, upgrade wine to latest version (from Intrepid repos). You might
even try the WineHQ repos for Intrepid to get *really* fresh wine.
- If no, ldd the binary(ies) that are being run, perhaps there is a missing
library?
Also, see http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html . Just *attempting*
to follow that guide will usually get you better, smarter answers.

Perhaps I should have been more clear. No - this is not a windows
version. This is specifically for Linux distros: SAS ver 9.2 for
Linux 64bit. The SAS installation website says it was designed for
Redhat and OpenSUSE. However, folks are running it on Ubuntu.
I've been following this thread at the Ubuntu forums:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=641448 . I can't make heads
or tails of post #22, which seems to explain how to make this work.
I was wondering if anyone here in the NWA area had any experience with
this installation directly, or had any tips on installing from DVD.
I'm trying to install on a System76 Serval Professional with Ubuntu
Intrepid.

environmental variable to the main directory where the file you
unpacked are.
----you can do this by adding and entry to your /etc/profile or your
~/.bashrc
Then he wants you to make sure all the scripts there are executable by
sudo chmod +x filename .
----in the last lines of the setup.sh script in the root of the sw
depot folder, I added the chmod +x line.
It looks like he is talking about instillation directories as if they
were variables. Where did you unpack the software(seems like you copy
a directory over to you system).? Explain how you acquired the
software , was it packed in a tar or zip file?

Ah, very good. Just that little bit of information makes all my questions
crazy talk. :)

Well, you could always try CentOS, Fedora, or OpenSUSE as a last resort. They
are all at least mostly free. (The OpenSUSE installation pops up a EULA-like
dialog that you have to accept to continue, which troubles me.)
Still, before doing that, I'd make sure all the LSB packages are installed.
LSB = Linux Standard Base, and while Ubuntu and Debian haven't actually
gotten certified, installing those packages probably gets most of the
features something targeting the LSB needs. 'aptitude install lsb lsb-qt4'
should pull in all the lsb packages as dependencies.

Nope, post #22 is trying to move a SAS Software Depot from Windows to Linux,
probably not something you should really pay attention to.
Having read the thread, I assume you are "OldDirtyTurtle"? If so, you should
know that chsh doesn't affect the default shell, it affects a single user's
login shell. If you have dash installed, 'dpkg-reconfigure dash' and
choose 'No' when asked if dash should be installed as /bin/sh (the default
shell). If you don't have dash installed, no worries; bash is already your
default shell. (Well, unless you've done something crazy and replaced
the /bin/sh symlink yourself.)
Please post the *exact* error messages you are getting; copy and paste, if
possible. "Failed" is such a generic, vague description of what's happening
that it's unlikely anyone is going to be able to give you anything other than
generic, vague advice. Read
http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html and get back to us with
more information. Just attempting to follow that guide will get you better,
smarter answers.

Not I.

Make sure the DVD is mounted with the 'exec' option, but you seem to already
be doing that. The 'suid' option might be desirable for some installers but,
a lot of installers are probably going to want you to run it as root anyway.
