Trouble with "Add Library", 2.0a8 x64 on Linux

in Integration and Hardware • 1 year ago

Hi all, quick question: I'm trying to use the "Add Library" feature in 2.0a8 and for some reason some of the libraries throw an error after downloading, telling me it "Could not move library "library_name" to sketchbook". Is this a common error, or is it something to do with permissions? Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

You hint that it could have to do with permissions, which are very possible. Where are the sketchbook and processing installation folders located?

I've got them stored on a partition on my hard drive, outside of my home folder structure. I adjusted permissions for the Sketchbook folder so anything and anyone could read and write to all the files inside it, but that didn't seem to do the trick.

EDIT: Wait, might've answered my own question here, I don't think I changed ownership/permissions of the folders properly, giving that another go.

Okay, reopening this guy because permissions don't seem to be the issue. I've updated to the latest beta and it still doesn't seem to want to properly install the library. If it helps at all I'm trying to install the PBox2D library.

I'm not sure this feature is working on linux, the downloaded library seems to get as a far as being unzipped. If you haven't found it already it is in the /tmp folder, my guess is that it doesn't get moved to the sketchbook folder is a linux "security" feature, I but I may be wrong. It is not too difficult to move it to the sketchbook folder so it doesn't really bother me.
