SAFE Network Alpha Release!

Note sure where to post comments. Install could be smoother. safe_launcher not in $PATH – I found it by hand, here: /opt/maidsafe/safe_launcher/safe_launcher so I try to run it:

/opt/maidsafe/safe_launcher/safe_launcher: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
dpkg -S libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
apt-get install libgtk2.0-0

/opt/maidsafe/safe_launcher/safe_launcher
/opt/maidsafe/safe_launcher/safe_launcher: error while loading shared libraries: libnotify.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
dpkg -S libnotify.so.4
apt-get install libnotify4

/opt/maidsafe/safe_launcher/safe_launcher
/opt/maidsafe/safe_launcher/safe_launcher: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
dpkg -S libgconf-2.so.4
apt-get install libgconf-2-4

/opt/maidsafe/safe_launcher/safe_launcher
/opt/maidsafe/safe_launcher/safe_launcher: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

apt-get install libnss3

I hope this process will end soon … it would be nice if the deb installed the pre-reqs it needed.

Also – its clearly promising to be a graphical app of some kind. Any chance there might be a non-graphics version of this?

OK, so I start it up: nothing happens, it exits silently. I expected an error message, like “can’t connect to X server” or something like that.

strace /opt/maidsafe/safe_launcher/safe_launcher
ends with
open(“/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES/gtk20-properties.mo”, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
close(3) = 0
exit_group(1) = ?
+++ exited with 1 +++

find /usr |grep gtk20-properties.mo | grep en
/usr/share/locale/ca@valencia/LC_MESSAGES/gtk20-properties.mo
/usr/share/locale/en_CA/LC_MESSAGES/gtk20-properties.mo
/usr/share/locale/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/gtk20-properties.mo

OK, I’m stumped, now. Clearly, I need to install one more thing … what might it be?
