Problems installing ltib-e500mc-20091218 for P4080

[LeeS]

I've been trying to run ./ltib from ltib-e500mc-20091218 on a number of different linux distributions, including an older distribution that Freescale recommended (Deb. 4.0r7), but also Ubuntu 9.10,Fedora 12 and currently Debian 5.04. I get to the point where I get the following error:

Several comments

1) It looks like it can't access the GPP.  I am behind a proxy but I have set http_proxy.

2) I have manually downloaded rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz but when I attempt to run ./configure it dies.

Is there somewhere specific that I can put rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz so ltib can find it?

Also, on Debian I have been unable to install the rpm-build package.  Can someone tell me how to do that?

Here's what Aptitude says:

debianls:/home/ls# aptitude install rpm-build

"Aptitude install alien"  worked fine.

I've met the same problem with you    you got the solutions ???  Wish your reply    Thanks!!!

First of all, the GPP issues turned out to be a red herring.  All of the required LTIB software packages are on the CD.  The problem I saw had to do with some distributions not correctly accessing the CD.  If you copy everything from the CD onto your hard disk and then run the build script, things will probably go much better.

Secondly, for Debian distributions you don't need the RPM packages, Debian has it's own package manager.

The first time to run the build script (as above) , it will identify some Linux packages that you need that are not currently in your distribution.  Use the Debian package manager or apt or apt-get or whatever you like to load those.  Once you get all of the required Linux packages in your host, the LTIB script should run to completion with no problems.

Good luck...

Thanks for your reply.

I loaded all of the required packages in my host(Ubuntu 10.04),but problem still happened. The target board was brought by my senior fellow  apprentices who has graduated years ago and works in freescale now. And now just board here,no cd ,no manual.

Here is my Host_Configure.log

is my rpm package version too high?

someone say when met the md5 problem  ,just repeat the ./ltib again and again. But still not works.

Do you know how to solve that?

I don't know if i express my problem clearly.

Thank you very much!

It sounds like you are missing the P4080 SDK distribution.  The most current is ltib-500mc-20100331.  You need to get it from Freescale.  It contains the package that the build is complaining about (rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz) and all of the other packages needed to build ltib.  

Once you get the CD, since you are using Ubuntu you may get away with running the ltib build script (./ltib) after doing the standard install, but with Debian and redhat and others, I found that the install did not copy all of the required packages from the CD.

Good luck.

Where do you get this CD from? Thanks.

[lhjoanna]

Thanks for your help!

I'll try to get a complete ltib from  freescale.com 

hope everyting is fine!

Hi, did you ever find out where to download the appropriate file from?

Thanks,
