Installing development packages (devx_212.sfs) - Resolved

#1 Post by farcrazy »

I'm trying to install the development packages so I can compile some custom programs. I have install Puppy 2.12 on my hard disk with full install (Option 2) and downloaded the devx_212.sfs packages in the /root directory of my puppy partition. This does not work! I also tried putting it in the / directory and it still does not work. The only thing that works is if I boot from the LiveCD... then it detected the devx_212.sfs file and the gcc compiler is installed.

Please help...

Maybe I'm blind, but I cannot find the pup_212.sfs file anywhere in my disk partition. I've used the puppy universal installer script and choose option 2 (full HD install) and not the poor man install (Option 1). Should I still have the pup_212.sfs file in my case?

My brain must be a little dense - do you mean you want me to put it in the root directory (i.e. / and not /root)? My puppy is install on hda5 on my HD -- /hda1 is my window NTFS partition and I don't think you want me to put it in there... Anyway, I already tried putting in my topmost directory.. same thing, it does not load the compiler packages.

getting a little frustrated on why it does it if I put the puppy liveCD in there.

Any other suggestions?
