RPi-Monitor - Does it install?

[Gary Round]

Hello

Just came across RPi-Monitor and tried following the installation instructions here:

http://rpi-experiences.blogspot.fr/p/rpi...ation.html

This fails with:

-bash: /usr/bin/wget: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

I suspect I am being thick so would accept/appreciate any help as RPi-Monitor looks like a nice way to monitor remote devices.

Cheers
Gary.

Hello Gary,

I just flashed a new version of rpitc on my RPI2 to see what I could see. Here's the scoop:

I'm thinking there are some dependencies missing. I used the following when installing rpi-monitor on my Pi2:

Code:

sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev librrds-perl libhttp-daemon-perl libjson-perl libipc-sharelite-perl libfile-which-perl

If you received an error when installing rpi-monitor you may have to force install using:

Code:

sudo apt-get install -f

Which should find for you the missing dependencies and install them for you for rpi-monitor to work.

Anyway, using the above tips should get it working for you like it did for me.

"cannot execute binary file: Exec format error" means that you are using a different architecture/abi.
Maybe you are running a x86 bin in arm or an armel bin in armhf etc

To be fair I am very new to this so I wouldn't rule anything out ... I did try to follow the install article for RPi Monitor but struggled to add the appropriate repository in ... seemed to be some sort of issue with the public key.

Anyway ... many thanks for taking the time to read this and any other suggestions definitely welcomed.

Cheers
Gary.

Hi Gary,

Are you saying you still can't get this installed?

I used the following to install this - http://rpi-experiences.blogspot.fr/2015/...lable.html

The only change I made was to the dependancies (see my post above). Besides that it worked well.

If you don't want to use the repos you can do it manually but it's easier for updates if you use the repos.

Did you ensure your dependencies were fixed by using this statement?

sudo apt-get install -f

Hello

Sorry for the delays ... other work getting in the way as usual ... I am sure everyone knows that issue :-)

I am grateful for the suggestions and am sure I am being particularly thick because while trying to install the dependencies as suggested:

Code:

sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev librrds-perl libhttp-daemon-perl libjson-perl libipc-sharelite-perl libfile-which-perl

The following set of errors are displayed:

At this point I am pretty sure I got very confused because I tried:

Code:

sudo apt-get install -f

And got the following:


root@rpitc-f97de1b5:~# apt-get install -f
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done

I appreciate this is probably old hat for everyone else and would be grateful if you'd treat me as a complete idiot ... I am most likely doing something very very fundamentally stupid.

Cheers
Gary.

Hi Gary,

Did you use sudo in front of your apt-get before installing dependencies? Or did you sudo su before? Also, are you sure your Pi has Internet Access?

Thanks.

[DaWast]

Have you tried "apt-get update" prior to "apt-get install"?

[greavette]

Good Catch DaWest!

[DaWast]

Thanks.
Sometimes i have to have a good hint too. ;-)
