Problems With Installing Apollon

[Satyagraha]

Hi,

I can't seem to install Apollon. Every time it shows a message "An error occured".

This is what I exactly do to install Apollon:

sh ./apollon-installer-0.6.run

Then I get this message:

Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Apollon........................................... ................................................
.................................................. .................................................. ..
.................................................. .................................................. ..
.................................................. .................................................. .
.................................................. ..................................................

It then starts the installation of Apollon. After pressing "Next" twice, it gives an error message and tells me to view my log. This is the log file:

Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? I'm using Linux Ubuntu by the way.

if you look at the error message, it clearly states you don't have ltdl installed/configured correctly. i suggest you install that and try again

[Satyagraha]

Ltdl is libtool, right? At least, that's what they told me on another forum. Well this is what I get if I try to install libtool:

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
libtool is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 12 not upgraded.

So, is ltdl libtool or is it something else?

[lakerdonald]

do an rpm search for ltdl

[vredfreak]

If I remeber, Ubuntu is a deb distro.

It's possible (I guess) that libltdl isn't built into their libtool package. The only thing I remember containing ltdl in deb was "libguile-ltdl". Not sure if that's what you want though, it's been a while since I used Ubuntu.

Maybe this helps. Then again maybe not.

PS- Have you tried doing a "file" search or "provides" search (NOT package search) in synaptic?
