The Little Guy Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I am trying to install thrift, but it isn't working. When I run bootstrap.sh, I keep getting this error: ./bootstrap.sh: 24: autoscan: not found What does that mean and how can I fix it?

zq29 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 It means that it can not find autoscan... which autoscan If that doesn't return anything, you'll need to install it. If it does, you'll have to modify the script to point in the right location, it's normally found in /usr/bin/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMurtagh Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hi, After doing 'which autoscan' if it comes back as not found, you'll want to install autoscan. To do so, see below: 1. sudo to become superuser 2. Run either: sudo aptitude install autoscan OR sudo apt-get install autoscan These will install the autoscan package from the repositories setup on the Linux box. If you want to make sure your packages are up to date, you can run: sudo apt-get update Run this command after changing /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/preferences . This command periodically to make sure your source list is up-to-date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgillett Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 > sudo apt-get install autoscan Thanks for the help, but note this doesn't work directly on Ubuntu 9.04, apparently there is no autoscan package so the above command fails. Instead you have to do "sudo apt-get install automake" to get autoscan. Walter Gillett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
