Hello,
Today May 23 I was trying to set up the psptoolchain on ubuntu feisty fawn and I was following the readme instructions which were

I have managed to get past that error, even though i am getting lots of them, and some fix themselves or something but i have another error with the psptoolchain it is telling me to add /usr/local/pspdev/bin to my path but it is already there. this is shown in this screenshot

any ideas?

Many Thanks

That's a very strange thing to happen. Here's the part that's failing:

Maybe running it as 'sudo' isn't using the same path settings his regular user account. Try running it directly as root - or do as I do, just set it up with your regular user account.

first of all i downloaded the latest toolchain from the svn, then i followed the exact instructions and based off other errors installed more things until it worked up until this point. The weird thing is that I have been getting very variable errors, a couple of times I got errors building binutils and a few other i don't remember. In response to the invisible character i copy and pasted it from the instructions but i will go back and retype it. also it would be nice if you could tell me what grep was but i will install it. Finally when i was not running it in root or sudo i was getting no permissions to create /usr/local/pspdev/bin even though it was already there.

Edit: I just typed "sudo apt-get install grep" in terminal and it went through and said "grep is already the newest version"

Edit 2: just tried running it without sudo in my regular account and got:

Just make /usr/local/pspdev owned by your user account. Become root and do the following commands:

tried your recommendation again... and this is the result

[zilt]

In your /home/eric/Desktop/psptoolchain, can you type "ls -al" and post the results. It almost seems as though that directory isn't owned by you so the script fails to save the files. I can't think of what else it might be.

[AussieCannon]

first

[zilt]

Your build directory was owned by root, so your user wasn't able to write into it. Also, it looks like your group is 'eric' not 'users' like alot of linux systems - so you'll need to change the 'chown' command to 'chown -R eric:eric' instead to set the correct group for your account. What I don't really understand is where the call to 'autoconf' is coming from at the start of your call to 'toolchain.sh'. I've checked the script and the first thing it basically does is a 'wget' to fetch the binutils bz2 - not a call to autoconf. However, the filesize of toolchain.sh is correct, so I don't know what's going on.

Duh, I totally missed the sudo thing when he's running the script.

Of course it was't working. :)
