Hi rayxiang,

It's  truly due to the old packages for Ubuntu 9.04. So the best method is to update the version of UBUNTU to 10.04 or 12.04. If you are using the newest BSP L3.0.35_4.1.0 . Then you have to set up linux environment according to the document "Setting Up LTIB host" in the docs (L3.0.35_4.1.0_..._docs).

Hi Dan!

But please, please offer official support then for the newer Ubuntu releases... At the moment it is a real pain to set up ltib on a fresh install of Ubuntu 10 or 11 or 12...

Or do you have ALL necessary patches for the setup at the newer Ubuntu versions? It would be great... or would you rather recommend to use YOCTO instead?

Best regards

Florian

Hi Florian,

And I am using Ubuntu 10.04, I think it's easy for me to use. Here I attach you document made by my colleague , it is not official document but you can reference it .

Hope this can help you~~

Best Regards

Hi Florian,

I understand your frustration. One of the reasons we are moving to Yocto is that is less host-dependant, where you just need a few packages installed and all the rest Yocto (in fact, bitbake, the core engine) fetches and compiles. I would strongly suggest to move to Yocto; there are some documents out there to smooth the ramp-up.

[florianl]

Thanks Leonardo! Which Distribution so you use Yocto on? Do You also build on Ubuntu? Or can you recommend another distro such as Fedora?

Do you have some good getting started guides for Yocto?

Thanks again.

Florian

[Rita_Wang]

Hi Florian,

Sorry to delay reply.  I haven't used the Yocto , so about the use of Yocto you can ask Leonardo or others for help.

Best Regards

Dan

[LeonardoSandova]

I am using Yocto on a Ubuntu 12.04 (32 and 64 bits), it works fine.

There are some tutorials on the community and of course outside, but as a staring point I would take this:

Yocto Training - HOME

Yocto takes lots of HD space, so make sure you got enough before baking!

Hi rayxiang,

You can do as maurice said, remove the Flex package and install texlive-base package by commend:  $sudo apt-get install texlive $sudo apt-get install texlive-base .

By the way, are you using the newest BSP ?  If not, you can have a try.

Best Regards

Dan

Hi, Dan
I follow the commend sudo apt-get install texlive ,but it shows:

what's that supposed to mean?

[Rita_Wang]

Hi rayxiang,

Sorry for the previous answer, and now I get the right solution.

When you run "./ltib -m config", error as you have mentioned above. As your BSP is L3.0.35_4.0.0_130424_source and UBUNTU is

ubuntu 12.04 x86_64

Install below package for LTIB can fix the error:

sudo apt-get install texinfo

sudo apt-get install texlive

Best Regards,

Dan

[florianl]

Hi Dan,

for me it's the same problem: I have everything set up like described in the last BSP Documentation. VM in VirtualBox with Ubuntu 9.04 and all package sources set up accordingly to your Document "Set Up LTIB Environment".

Then on installing prerequisites (packages as described in the Set Up Document) I get the same error messages!

Do you have a solution for this?

Thanks!

Florian

[Rita_Wang]

Hi Florian,

Would you mind telling me your BSP, L3.0.35_4.0.0 or L3.0.35_4.1.0 ?

You can have a try the commends:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -f install

You also can reference the documnet

i.MX Linux BSP Environment Setup

Best Regards

Dan

[florianl]

Hi there,

yes I set everything up as mentioned in this document - I'm using the latest Version of the BSP (L3.0.35_4.1.0). BUT, the problem was still there and I (or better a good friend) fixed this latex time bomb: Michael Dodl - LaTeX - Disabling the 5 year time bomb

Maybe you should add this as a patch to the getting started documents!!

[Rita_Wang]

Hi Florian,

OK. I will discuss with my team colleagues. Thanks.

Best Regards

Dan

[florianl]

By the way: There was somebody else who had this problem: Building the LTIB in iMX6 in linux bsp

Here again some detailed informations about my setup:

I had the same problem yesterday on a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04 - I also wanted to use the latest BSP (L3.0.35_4.1.0_ER_SOURCE_BSP).

To reproduce my setup: I did everything mentioned in the "Setting Up LTIB host" in the docs (L3.0.35_4.1.0_..._docs) Package from the Freescale site.

The problem is indeed the old latex package for Ubuntu 9.04 - you can fix it after the failed setup by commenting out some lines in /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/base/latex.ltx and running the installation again like mentioned in your "Setting Up LTIB host" - doc:

sudo aptitude -y install asciidoc texlive-latex-base dblatex xutils-dev

For more information about the problem please read this blog entry: http://my.opera.com/Michael-Dodl/blog/2011/06/24/latex-disabling-the-5-year-time-bomb

Hopefully it helps!

Best regards

Hi Florian,

I have solved this problem.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -f install

[Rita_Wang]

Hi Carmili,

After you executing the commend :

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -f install

have you run these two to solved the problem

sudo apt-get install texinfo

sudo apt-get install texlive

Thanks.

Best Regards

Dan

[carmilili]

Hi,Dan

It is not  necessary to run the command.

sudo apt-get install texinfo

sudo apt-get install texlive

[Rita_Wang]

Hi Camili,

OK. Thanks a lot.
