Hello,

Having a bit of trouble installing LPCXpresso.  I'm trying to learn this as fast as possible. Using Ubuntu 11.04 still not very comfortable with command line.  Downloaded the installer.  Opened it from archive manager. It opened another archive manager.  Opened that file.  It opened a dialogue box (installer), with available applications window, recent applications window, as well as the run program location input field. 

This installer either closes out without any other notice, or gives an error of the text has run out before coming to the next '. 

I've been pulling my hair out for three days would someone please point me in the right direction?

Thank you in advance,

Zai

Under this circumstances, I suggest to start the installation from command line.
You can do the unpacking as TheFallGuy suggested.

Perhaps there are some preconditions missing, i.e. you might need to update or install some packages to get it running. It will tell you what is missing when installing on the command line.
(It also tells you otherwise, but that shell is closing so fast upon an error that you can't see it ...)[IMG]http://knowledgebase.nxp.com/images/icons/icon9.gif[/IMG]

Hey all,

Those worked on my Desktop computer so I guess that is where I will be working from. I used same stuff on laptop (that is very old and has survived 4 years of college and related abuse) and still does not work.

Thanks for all the help hopefully I get to return the favor someday!

Simplest way to install is as follows:
- open the file browser
- find the installer '.tar.gz' file
- right-click and select 'Extract here'
- this will extract the installer, which will be called something like Installer_LPCXpresso_4.2.3_255_Linux-x86 (which is the current version on the day of writing)
- you can now run this directly, either by double-clicking, or running from the command line
- the installer automatically asks for the super user (sudo) password

Or, to do everything from the command line:
- tar xvfz Installer_LPCXpresso_4.2.3_255_Linux-x86.tar_.gz
- ./Installer_LPCXpresso_4.2.3_255_Linux-x86

HTH

Try to start the installer from the command line. This way you see all the error messages it sends to stdout. I think you need to be root, i.e. need a [B][FONT=Courier New]sudo[/FONT][/B] before.
And, perhaps you need to make the downloaded file executable using [FONT=Courier New][B]chmod[/B][/FONT].

For me, it works well under Ubuntu.
After a longer, not so steep learning curve, the command line becomes your friend.
Get some more 'philosophical' texts about the concepts of unix/linux and the command line, to understand the principles. The black box method to learn commands is frustrating ...

Maybe you could try using Windows version? Less troublesome. :)
