You know, this is good software, and I appreciate its freedom (in all
senses) very much. But, geeze, what's with the lack of even the most
rudimentary testing in the major releases?
In 6.3.0, the server just flat will not run as shipped. Why? Because
it doesn't correctly include its own libraries in the search path. It
builds them fine, but then doesn't look in the right place to find
them. Doesn't anyone have a Debian VMWare image for a quick install
test, at the very least? Sheesh!
The fix is quite simple: cd to the 'lib' directory of your slimserver,
and make a symbolic link of the parent Slim directory into lib. In my
case, that's:
Code:
--------------------
cd /usr/local/slimserver/lib
ln -s ../Slim Slim
--------------------
Runs fine from there. This is a bandaid fix, and you should remove the
symlink before installing the next release, if you install into the same
directory. (if you install into a new directory each time, which I
recommend, you can safely leave it.)
If you guys don't feel like you have egg on your faces for this one,
you should. If you need another tester, I'd be happy to run things
through a basic install/test run on Debian just before you declare a
version 'stable'. I'd do it anyway, so doing it a few days sooner
won't hurt me any and might help everyone else.
