I've installed Ubuntu 7.04 and i have Apple shake for Linux in a directory. In the system requirements for Shake it says it wants Fedora Core.
My question is...
1. Is Apple Shake compatible with Ubuntu Linux? e.g. are there any differences between Fedora and Ubuntu that are substantial enough for Shake NOT to work?

2. When I try to launch Shake's launch script, I get "permission denied" and "no such directory" responses displaying in terminal. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Hello,

I don't know Apple Shake but if you get a "permission denied" message, maybe it means that you need to run the script with administrative rights.
Try to launch the script in a terminal with sudo first.

sudo ./the_name_of_the_script

apparently someone installed apple shake on ubuntu in the following link so if my advice don't work maybe you can post a comment requesting help in this forum (and then paste the solution here):

I tried but it says "sudo: ./shake: command not found" I've included the launch script, could you check it to see if I have to change anything within it to make it work? Thanks a lot!

Here is the script...

#!/bin/csh -f

#
# set env var, NR_SHAKE_LOCATION if not set
#
#!/bin/csh -f

#
# set env var, NR_SHAKE_LOCATION if not set
#
if ${?NR_SHAKE_LOCATION} == 0 then
  pushd `dirname $0` >& /dev/null
  setenv NR_SHAKE_LOCATION `dirname ${cwd}`;
  popd >& /dev/null
endif

#
# set env var, LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH
#
if ${?LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH} then
setenv LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH ${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/lib:${LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH};
else
setenv LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH ${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/lib;
endif

#
# set env var, LD_LIBRARY_PATH
#
if ${?LD_LIBRARY_PATH} then
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib:${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/lib:${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/lib/mesa:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH};
else
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib:${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/lib:${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/lib/mesa;
endif

#
# launch shake
#
exec ${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/bin/shkx.exe $argv:q

#echo NR_SHAKE_LOCATION = ${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION};
#echo LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH = ${LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH};
#echo LD_LIBRARY_PATH = ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH};

There is also this script too...

#!/bin/csh -f

#
# set env var, NR_SHAKE_LOCATION if not set
#
#!/bin/csh -f

#
# set env var, NR_SHAKE_LOCATION if not set
#
if ${?NR_SHAKE_LOCATION} == 0 then
  pushd `dirname $0` >& /dev/null
  setenv NR_SHAKE_LOCATION `dirname ${cwd}`;
  popd >& /dev/null
endif

#
# set env var, LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH
#
if ${?LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH} then
setenv LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH ${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/lib:${LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH};
else
setenv LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH ${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/lib;
endif

#
# set env var, LD_LIBRARY_PATH
#
if ${?LD_LIBRARY_PATH} then
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib:${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/lib:${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/lib/mesa:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH};
else
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib:${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/lib:${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/lib/mesa;
endif

#
# launch tshake
#
exec ${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION}/bin/tshkx.exe $argv:q

#echo NR_SHAKE_LOCATION = ${NR_SHAKE_LOCATION};
#echo LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH = ${LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH};
#echo LD_LIBRARY_PATH = ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH};

The second script is called tshake but I dont think its the launch script.

Thanks,

Rob

Thanks Rob,

this script is a C-Shell script. C-Shell is not installed on Ubuntu by default. You can install it with the following command (or using Synaptic if you want):

sudo apt-get install csh

To run the script you can:

1) give this command: sudo ./shake (you must have execute permissions)
2) or give this command: csh shake

hi!

I guess I must be doing something wrong because when i type in "csh shake" I get a message saying: "/home/jon/shake/bin/shkx.exe: Permission denied".

I'm very new to Ubuntu so this is probably some beginner mistake.

Check the responses step by step, there must be something you're
missing, also check and enable all the permissions for both exe files too.

thank you, I looked over and tried again and again.

How do I enable the permissions for the exe files?

Hi Jon,

Setting permissions is

chmod a+x filename

also there is

chmod a+rw filename

x is for execute permission and rw is read, write.

P.S. Guys please be a little more supportive, that's what forums are for. "Check that you're not doing something wrong" for example apart from being offensive is not an answer ...
