Brief description of my latest setup I use for CPL and LCH - in case I forget it or somebody wants to replicate it.
Inspiration for the setup came from https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cPt_1Vga-Nk
Motivation - issues with VMs # VMs are great - they allow “packaged” dev environment and quick start for the new member of the team. Start a VM on local or remote host, connect with VNC or Remote Desktop and you are in business.
I was aching to blog about this since December 18th, when our system quietly and gently slipped into public visibility. Marked as Beta (thanks, Google for making this a legitimate way how to go live) it comfortably made it through Christmas shopping season into 2009.
Now when the site has been announced and mentioned few times in the media, I guess it's OK to mention it here too.
What is "it" ? A new, fresh eCommerce site selling music. A lots of really good music. Without any DRM or any other nonsense, as plain good high quality (mostly 320 kps) MP3's. The selection is actually very good - starting from several hundred thousands in December to several few million songs when full catalog is loaded. More great music being added every week.
Trying to install ATG on the Linux platform turned out to be not completely hickup-free. The default installer died with the following message:
$ ./ATG2007.1.bin> Preparing to install...> Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...> Configuring the installer for this system's environment...> awk: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory> dirname: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory> /bin/ls: error while loading shared libraries: librt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory> basename: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory> dirname: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory> basename: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory[/sourcecode]> Fortunately, the fix was easy after I found out what went wrong: incorrect assumption about kernel version. To make it work, this "hack" helped:> [sourcecode language='css']> $ mv ATG2007.1.bin ATG2007.1.bin.orig> $ cat ATG2007.1.bin.orig | sed "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" >ATG2007-1.bin None of this of course happens on Windows - oh, yes - the joys of not swimming with the crowd :-). You will encounter issues otherwise unknown - but also learn something in the process.
