[sword-devel] Modules Don't Work

Try doing it as not root. I don't know why the docs suggest using root to
do the work, but try doing it in your local directory by running the
installmgr commands without being root.

--Greg

Hello
This started out as a C# binding question, but the problem is deeper than
that. Basically
I can't get the installmgr to do anything useful. I am new to Linux, but
have been writing software on other platforms for ~50 years.
To insure that my machine configuration was not the problem (I had
installed Xiphos
and BibleTime earlier), I set up a new virtual machine using VirtualBox
and Mint 17.
I updated all the packages and installed build-essentials. No other
software.
I downloaded Sword-1.73 and uncompressed it into a folder 'sword-1.7.3'
under my
home directory.
I then followed the instructions in the INSTALL file and everything
appeared to make
correctly.
I went to the utilities directory and ran the installmgr
sudo ./installmgr -sc //Synch with master appeared to work
sudo ./installmgr -r CrossWire //refresh remote source - appears to
work, 411 packages
sudo ./installmgr -ri CrossWire KJV //returns 'Remote source
[CrossWire] does not make available module [KJV]
sudo ./installmgr -rl CrossWire //list modules on CrossWire - sure
enough, no KJV
Went to ~/.sword/InstallMgr/20081216195754/mods.d/ and found kjv.conf. So
refreshing the remote source finds KJV but install does not.
Downloaded ESV.zip and unpacked it into the same directory (Downloads)
sudo ./installmgr -li ~/Downloads/ESV.zip ESV
Module [ESV] not available at path [/home/jsb/Downloads/ESV.zip]
sudo ./installmgr -li ~/Downloads/ESV ESV
Module [ESV] not available at path [/home/jsb/Downloads/ESV]
sudo ./installmgr -li ~/Downloads/ESV/mods.d ESV
Module [ESV] not available at path [/home/jsb/Downloads/ESV/mods.
d]
sudo ./installmgr -li ~/Downloads/ESV/modules ESV
Module [ESV] not available at path [/home/jsb/Downloads/ESV/
modules]
Well, that didn't work. So let's try just extracting the archive into
/usr/share/sword
cd /usr/share/sword
sudo unzip ~/Downloads/ESV.zip
Archive: /home/jsb/Downloads/ESV.zip
inflating: modules/texts/ztext/esv/nt.bzv
inflating: modules/texts/ztext/esv/nt.bzs
inflating: modules/texts/ztext/esv/ot.bzs
inflating: modules/texts/ztext/esv/nt.bzz
inflating: modules/texts/ztext/esv/ot.bzv
inflating: modules/texts/ztext/esv/ot.bzz
inflating: mods.d/esv.conf
That's hopeful, let's try it out.
cd ~/sword-1.7.3/examples/cmdline //previously made this project
./lookup ESV Jn.3.16
Note that the list of available modules is empty.
So at this point I'm stuck. It is my hope to write a front end in C#, but
I can't seem to get the package installed and working properly.
I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks for the response Greg, but that doesn't work. Without being root:

./installmgr -ri CrossWire ESV
Couldn't find remote source [CrossWire]

./installmgr -sc
(Returns warnings and asks whether to proceed)
enable? [no] yes
Failed to sync config file with master remote source list.

Well once you stop running it as sudo you're going to need to run the
"installmgr -sc" step again to sync the config down from the server.

If the KJV module is not showing for you, the compiled library thinks it is not compatible. Sine you confirmed you don't have an old version, my next guess is that you probably didn't build with compression. The KJV module is compresses. Can you please post the output at the end of the ./usrinst.sh command which shows the configuration summary.

Hello
This started out as a C# binding question, but the
problem is deeper than that. Basically
I can't get the installmgr to do anything useful. I am
new to Linux, but have been writing software on other
platforms for ~50 years.
To insure that my machine configuration was not the
problem (I had installed Xiphos
and BibleTime earlier), I set up a new virtual machine
using VirtualBox and Mint 17.
I updated all the packages and installed
build-essentials. No other software.
I downloaded Sword-1.73 and uncompressed it into a
folder 'sword-1.7.3' under my
home directory.
I then followed the instructions in the INSTALL file

and

Post by Greg Hellings
everything appeared to make
correctly.
I went to the utilities directory and ran the

installmgr

Post by Greg Hellings
sudo ./installmgr -sc //Synch with master appeared
to work
sudo ./installmgr -r CrossWire //refresh remote
source - appears to work, 411 packages
sudo ./installmgr -ri CrossWire KJV //returns
'Remote source [CrossWire] does not make available
module [KJV]
sudo ./installmgr -rl CrossWire //list modules on
CrossWire - sure enough, no KJV
Went to ~/.sword/InstallMgr/20081216195754/mods.d/ and
found kjv.conf. So refreshing the remote source finds
KJV but install does not.
Downloaded ESV.zip and unpacked it into the same
directory (Downloads)
sudo ./installmgr -li ~/Downloads/ESV.zip ESV
Module [ESV] not available at path
[/home/jsb/Downloads/ESV.zip]
sudo ./installmgr -li ~/Downloads/ESV ESV
Module [ESV] not available at path
[/home/jsb/Downloads/ESV]
sudo ./installmgr -li ~/Downloads/ESV/mods.d ESV
Module [ESV] not available at path
[/home/jsb/Downloads/ESV/mods.d]
sudo ./installmgr -li ~/Downloads/ESV/modules ESV
Module [ESV] not available at path
[/home/jsb/Downloads/ESV/modules]
Well, that didn't work. So let's try just extracting

the

archive into /usr/share/sword
cd /usr/share/sword
sudo unzip ~/Downloads/ESV.zip
Archive: /home/jsb/Downloads/ESV.zip

inflating: modules/texts/ztext/esv/ot.bzz
inflating: mods.d/esv.conf
That's hopeful, let's try it out.
cd ~/sword-1.7.3/examples/cmdline

//previously

made this project
./lookup ESV Jn.3.16
Could not find module [ESV]. Available
Note that the list of available modules is empty.
So at this point I'm stuck. It is my hope to write a
front end in C#, but I can't seem to get the package
installed and working properly.
I'd appreciate any help.
Jon

Hello Jon,
I've run into issues with installmgr not working as documented previously;
here's some notes:
1. If you used sudo, be sure to "sudo rm -r ~/.sword" before trying to
set things up.
Otherwise, you may be dealing with read-only config files and install paths.

2. Before installing anything, you will have to create
~/.sword/sword.conf containing this:
===
[INSTALL]
DataPath=/home/<username>/.sword
===
where <username> stands for your login name.

A shortcut in the console:
mkdir ~/.sword && \
printf "[INSTALL]\nDataPath=$HOME/.sword\n" >~/.sword/sword.conf

This can be done after syncing the repositories if you prefer.

You may wish to check if /etc/sword.conf contains anything beyond
a similar directive.

3. installmgr will report success when it didn't succeed due to read-only
DataPath.
To check whether the modules are installed, I suggest:
diatheke -b system -k modulelist

Hope this helps you,
Isaac Dunham

Dear Isaac,

While your information is not inaccurate, it can be quite confusing.

SWORD, by default, configures itself to save global modules under
/usr/share/sword/

Your instructions are not what must be done, as you have said "you will
have to..." Your configuration is a choice to install modules privately
only for a single user account. The default configuration also supports
this, as SWORD will first look at the global path (/usr/share/sword/)
and then ~/.sword/ and augment modules found there as well.

While installmgr previously did not output proper errors when it could
not write to the output path, this is no longer the case for a while now.

Your information might be helpful, but I hope next time you might
preface it with a clause something like: "I find that the default
configuration to store files globally is more trouble than it is worth.
I have change my configuration to always install modules to my single
user home directory."

Troy

Might I ask when this was fixed? I ran into it with 1.7.3.

I would need to look at the svn commit logs, but these problems should not exist in 1.7 branch. I didn't see them using svn head when I tested replying to this thread. If you can confirm that no error is output when installing to a directory for which you have no write permission, please let me know and we will hunt down the commit which still needs to be merged to the 1.7 branch. Thanks for reporting and checking for us. Greatly appreciated.

Thanks to Troy's help, I've got Sword installed, modules downloaded and the
cmdline example now works.

I still don't have a libsword.so which is needed for the C# bindings
project to run.
I've got a libsword.la and a libsword.a

Is there a compiler switch I need to set to generate the .so library?

Thanks again
Jon

Troy A. Griffitts

Yes, usrinst.sh configures the build with options most convenient for a SWORD engine developer (well, what I consider most convenient) and that is to build SWORD for static linking so you never accidentally test against some other libsword on your path.

Edit usrinst.sh and have a look at the options at the top. There is one for building SWORD as a shared library.

Glad you got it almost working!

Troy
