"No such file or directory" on application run

[svilenkov]

The issue #6 says that we should clone the git repo and install from there since it has the latest bugfixes. However when I run the version from the website linuxband-12.02.1 The program runs but encounters that startup error as mentioned in the issue #6.

I've cloned the repo
used autogen.sh then used the standard ./configure make etc... procedure. It all went fine, but when i run linuxband or /usr/bin/linuxband I get this immediate ouput:

bash-4.2$ /usr/bin/linuxband &
[1] 29036
: No such file or directoryhon

Could you send us the output of:
strace -f -s 1000 -e open /usr/bin/linuxband

Looks like your strace output got truncated. Can repost the full output?

[svilenkov]

I did
strace -o strace.log -f -s 1000 -e open /usr/bin/linuxband

Here's the strace.log http://pastebin.com/NUrejtJP

Here's with -v verbose=all arguments

It looks like you don't have Python installed. There's no 'python' executable on your PATH. After you'll install Python >= 2.5 you can try command:
/usr/bin/env python
to check that the Python is installed properly.

[svilenkov]

I have installed
pygtk-2.24.0-x86_64-1
pygtksourceview-2.10.1-x86_64-1_SBo
python-2.7.4-x86_64-1
packages

bash-4.2$ python
Gives me:
Python 2.7.4 (default, Apr 7 2013, 11:58:11)

Maybe an environment variable setting. Weird because I could run the version from the website and not the one from git.

[svilenkov]

the /usr/bin/env doesn\t show me anthing regarding python, though it seems to be installed on the system. I'm using Slackware 14.1 Current 64

[noseka1]

On the Slackware the python executable seems to be /usr/bin/python2.7. You can start LinuxBand with:
/usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/linuxband &

Or you can create a symbolic link and start like this:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/linuxband &

The /usr/bin/env doesn't show you anything? What's the output of:
type python

Isn't python just an alias to /usr/bin/python2.7? That would explain it.

[svilenkov]

I've edited the /usr/bin/linuxband
#!/usr/bin/env python -> #!/usr/bin/python

Also had to fix the ^M line ending formatting issue with the dos2unix utili on that script. And now the application can run. Although I'm having some mma issues and cant produce the sound, but that's not the topic of this issue, I'll check the installation of mma first.
