NOIP2 fails to install

[kjacobs]

Hi all,

I have used NOIP2 many times over the past years. I just recently upgraded my system to LL 1.0.8 and this morning have tried a number of times to install noip2 from source. Every time it has failed with an error....

if [ ! -d /usr/local/bin ]; then mkdir -p /usr/local/bin;fi
if [ ! -d /usr/local/etc ]; then mkdir -p /usr/local/etc;fi
cp noip2 /usr/local/bin/noip2
/usr/local/bin/noip2 -C -c /tmp/no-ip2.conf
make: execvp: /usr/local/bin/noip2: Permission denied
make: *** [install] Error 127

Ever since ubuntu removed noip2 from the repositories, this has gotten increasingly more difficult. I would love some assistance to get noip2 installed again on LL 1.0.8

Thanks,
Ken

I see 'Permission denied'. Are your root?

[kjacobs]

Yes, I am typing.....

sudo make install

And that is the error that keeps showing up.

I just tried again, following the instructions on the NOIP website......

Update......I have tried a couple more times to install NOIP2 on the 1.0.8 machine with no luck. So, just for fun...I built another 1.0.6 machine and tried the same instructions. NOIP2 installed on the 1.0.6 computer exactly as described and began working right away.....

So....not sure what I am missing on 1.0.8

Well....I finally got NOIP2 working on LL 1.0.8, although it took a lot of searching to find a resolve....

After trying the make install the first time, I had to go into /usr/local/bin and chmod the NOIP2 file to make it executable. From there, I reran the make install and everything installed as it should. I am not sure why this is different from 1.0.6 to 1.0.8, however it is working again.....WHEW!

Still be nice to know why it worked fine on my 1.0.6 machine and not the 1.0.8 without extra steps......

Glad you got it working, hope it lasts a bit longer for you
