I am getting the error "unknown operator" when I run install which has me baffled.
Any ideas what might be going on here appreciated. TIA
XnView-1.68-sparc-sun-solaris2.x> ./install
./install: test: unknown operator /sbin/uname
XnView-1.68-sparc-sun-solaris2.x> /sbin/uname
SunOS
Me too but in linux

I downloaded XnView-1.68-x86-unknown-linux2.x-static and extracted it. I then run sh install and this error comes up. I'm running Slackware 9.1 current by the way.
sh install
OS : Linux, version 2.4.25
install: line 26: syntax error near unexpected token `('
install: line 26: ` uid=*(root)*)'

I also had the (latter) described problem when trying to install XnView on Slackware 9.1.
I contacted Mr. Gougelet, and he said:
Change to
uid=*\(root\)*)
That fixed the problem!
Good luck!

I tried again as root.
It did not fix the program. Same error message as before.

Try /sbin/uname on a terminal?

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "on a terminal"
From an xterm command prompt I get
%/sbin/uname
SunOS

Try XnView.sh

Good to see Linux (and UNIX-like systems) activities here!!!!!

I had this problem. But this piece of code is just for checking if I am root. I was already root, and I know that I was root, so I just removed these lines and tried to run again.
Of course, this isn't a "beautiful" solution, but works!
The best will be when Pierre fixes this script.
By the way, I use Slackware 9.0.
Code: Select all
case "`id`" in
uid=*(root)*)
;;
*)
echo "You must be root \!"
exit
esac
Fixed, sort of

I can get the script to run. It was simply changing it to korn shell.
I changed #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/ksh and it ran and installed everything......but.... now it is not executable because I get an error
ld.so.1: ./xnview: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/lib/libformat.so: symbol __sqrtf: referenced symbol not found
???? I am going to try to go back to an earlier version of xnview (if I can find one). Where might I find a previous version.....I think my old version was 1.2 which was quite good enough and definitely better than no xnview at all.

Strange, if you make uname -a, could you tell me the result?
And i can send you old version.
