Install Error: Unexpected EOF

Hello,

Using Fedora Core 5.  I've been trying to install XFCE for a couple of days now, but I'm stymied with this issue.  I keep getting the error message:

Disk Based Hashtables
Running Configure...failed.

When I check the error log, I find the following error message:

./control.sh: line 249: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
./control.sh: line 374: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Here's the Error Log:

Re: Install Error: Unexpected EOF

I am getting exactly the same error, and I have no idea what is going wrong, all libs are installed and recognized by the installer.

Ideas anyone?

I am using Ubuntu (Draper Drake).

Re: Install Error: Unexpected EOF

I was finally able to resolve this through the "Add New Software" gui portion of Gnome, which offered to install XFCE for me.

Re: Install Error: Unexpected EOF

I got the same error.
Try to use the pre-release version  which can be downloaded from:
http://www.xfce.org/archive/xfce-4.3.99.1/installers/
Now everything is fine.

Re: Install Error: Unexpected EOF

HI,
         THE SOLUTION IS SIMPLE ONE. EVEN I HAD TO STRUGGLE A LOT FOR GETTING IT. PLEASE CHANGE THE FOLLOWING

step 1. Run the installer.
step 2. Before doing anything, go to /tmp/xfce-xxxx directory
step 3. select the control.sh script
step 4. change the following line

<original file>

etcdir=`echo ${dir} | sed -e 's,/share,/etc,'`

</original file>

CHANGE IT TO

<change it to>

etcdir=`echo ${dir} | sed -e 's,/share,/etc,'`
notice this                                               ^   

</change to this>

SOMETIMES SMALL THINGS GET TOO TOUGH

Re: Install Error: Unexpected EOF

forgot the last step :

step <whatever>. After replacing the control.sh script's line 249 with the stuff mentioned above, press NEXT and continue !

REMEMBER IT IS LINE 249

Re: Install Error: Unexpected EOF

What's the difference between these two lines?

<original file>
etcdir=`echo ${dir} | sed -e 's,/share,/etc,'`
</original file>
<change it to>
etcdir=`echo ${dir} | sed -e 's,/share,/etc,'`
</change to this>

Re: Install Error: Unexpected EOF

The original line in control.sh is:

etcdir=`echo ${dir} | sed -e 's,/share,/etc,`

The altered line should be

etcdir=`echo ${dir} | sed -e 's,/share,/etc,'`

What is changed is the single quote just before the end of the line.
This got me further in the installation proces.
