Install script fails at step 9

[Charles Gautier]

Install script fail: Build 2014-04-03 BZR4781

step 9) as non-root, install user configuration files...
make: *** No rule to make target `install_github_fp-lib-table'. Stop.

Kicad works but I can't same footprint libraries, either global or project specific. All entries in the library table don't work. Even attempts at creating a new library from Module editor don't work. Also, all documentation is not available through the help menu.

My system:
Ubuntu:
Release 12.04 (precise) 64-bit
Kernel Linux 3.11.0-19-generic
GNOME 3.4.2

Hardware:
Memory: 2.0 GB
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+

System Status
Available disk space: 17.9GB

This was reported on the developper network:

change the script:
LIB_REPO=~kicad-product-committers/kicad/library
Seems to work now.

Hi Sebastian,

1 hour of compiling, same result:

-- Up-to-date:
/usr/local/share/kicad/template/ti-stellaris-boosterpack40_min/boosterpack40_min.kicad_pcb
  kicad-lib.bzr installed.
step 9) as non-root, install user configuration files...
make: *** No rule to make target `install_github_fp-lib-table'. Stop.

However, there are two directories on my system:

Kicad
kicad_sources

I updated the script file "Kicad/kicad-install.sh",
but not the one in: "kicad_sources/kicad.bzr/scripts/kicad-install.sh"

I ran the script file in "Kicad/kicad-install.sh"

Thanks for your help.

Charles

Few more users have reported the same problem.

More info on step 9 lib problem and more

The footprint issue is my main problem, I thought that it could be related with the step 9 error. When I open CvPcv for the first time (after generating a netlist), I get the error:

No PCB footprint libraries are listed in the current footprint library table.

And I don't see any footprint.

I have installed again from scratch kicad to try to execute Pcbnew and see if is downloading footprints but if it does, I can't see it. I have also tried with CvPcv.

In summary, I have tried:

On linux mint 12
Using the ubuntu ppa (no way, the ubuntu which is based this linux mint is too old)
Using the linux install script -> step 9 and footprint issue
Building manually following this instructions -> It crashes when running the bzr command to download the libraries (and then i have the footprint issue):
$ bzr checkout lp:~kicad-lib-committers/kicad/library kicad-library.bzr
You have not informed bzr of your Launchpad ID, and you must do this to write to Launchpad or access private data.  See "bzr help launchpad-login".
bzr: ERROR: Invalid url supplied to transport: "bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kicad-lib-committers/kicad/library": no supported schemes
Binaries linux mint 2013 -> incompatible with my actual libc
Binaries linux mint 2012 -> work ok till now
Installing from my linux mint repos -> works ok but is the 2010 version.
On linux mint 16 live cd
using the ppa -> footprint issue
Installing from repos -> works ok, 2012 version

lp:~kicad-lib-committers/kicad/library does not exist.
Clearly, you are using an old and outdated script.

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

Is the script suppoised to use lp:~dickelbeck/kicad/library-read-only or lp:~kicad-product-committers/kicad/library?

[Muesli_Reep (project-bravo)]

I experienced the exact same thing running Mint 16.

I deleted the "kicad-sources" folder and per Sebastian Held's advice changed:
LIB_REPO=~kicad-product-committers/kicad/library

Now it works for me.

[Charles Gautier (gautcha)]

Ok, thanks. I will try that.

As of an hour ago, what was

   kicad-install-no_launchpad_account.sh

is now

   kicad-install.sh

and it should be fixed now.

[Charles Gautier (gautcha)]

Thank you all for your help. Script runs to the end now.

What I had to do:

1) Delete the whole /kicad_sources directory
2) Go on code.launchpad.net and identify where to download the latest
kicad-install.sh executable updated by Dick Hollenbeck. Could not find a
place to download this specific version.
3) Open terminal and issue command: bzr branch lp:kicad. This
downloaded the whole source code.
4) Went into the source code and copied
/kicad_sources/kicad.bzr/scripts/kicad-install.sh into a separate
directory /Kicad
5) Go back in terminal and issue command "kicad-install.sh
--install-or-update"
6) Finally, script executed with no errors.

However:

a) Documentation still not accessible through help menu
b) Still can't create library

Regards.

So I guess we can mark this is fixed. I mark it as such, if anyone do not agree, then just mark it so.
