I am trying to install a Now-Well on 3.2 HD install

http://now-well.sourceforge.net/linux/now-well/index.htm

The installer says:


Please exec easyinstall (./easyinstall.tcl) and follow the messages.
If you get the message "No such file or directory", you must
open it, with tixwish:
tixwish easyinstall.tcl

When I try to install it, using tixwish, I make the directories, and then get an error:

Error: cp: cannot stat 'etc/now-well.conf': No such file or directory

cp: cannot stat `etc/now-well.conf': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `etc/now-well.conf': No such file or directory
while executing
"exec ./install $dir $bin $doc $tixwish"
invoked from within
".top39.fra55.01 invoke"
("uplevel" body line 1)
invoked from within
"uplevel #0 [list $w invoke]"
(procedure "tk::ButtonUp" line 22)
invoked from within
"tk::ButtonUp .top39.fra55.01"
(command bound to event)

Any thoughts?
Thanks!

As root in a console touch /etc/now-well.conf will create an empty file in the /etc/ if does not already exist. You should also check to see if the file actually exists and may have the wrong permissions. Also check the documentation that came with the program you may have to create the file yourself with some default values in it.

Ok, that got rid of the errors - now all I have to do is work out how to get the thing to run!
Thanks!
