Prosa troubleshooting

Resolve Prosa2003 installation issues

If the Prosa test case doesn't work, you should first try whether you can run Prosa stand-alone:

cd /usr/local/share/Prosa2003
bin/prosa2003

This should pop up a minimal graphical window.

Issue 1: /prosa2003.bin: not found

On an Ubuntu 7.04 system, we got the following error:

test: 36: ==: unexpected operator
/usr/local/lib/prosa2003/bin/prosa2003: 55: /prosa2003.bin: not found

Apparently, the sh installed with Ubuntu doesn't recognize the first test statement in the prosa2003 shell script.

Solution:

  • Remove the following lines from ./bin/prosa2003:

    if ! test x"$DEV_BASE" == "x"
then
    EXTERNALS=$DEV_BASE/External
    EXECUTABLE=$DEV_BASE/prosa2003.bin
    PYTHON=/usr/bin/python
    PROSAGUI=$DEV_BASE/gui.py
else

  • and remove the closure of the if-clause further down:

    fi

Issue 2: libX11.so.6 not found

On Ubuntu 16.04 I got the following error:

File "/opt/prosa2003/External/python2.2/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 35, in ?
   import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk
ImportError: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Evidently Prosa2003 is very outdated by now and is using a stone age python interpreter internally.

No solution so far.
