Doesn't work in FreeBSD

[dejamuse]

I installed the test suite in FreeBSD 7.2 but can't get the executable to run (everything as root):

# ./install-sh

Phoronix Test Suite Installation Completed

Executable File: /usr/bin/phoronix-test-suite
Documentation: /usr/share/doc/phoronix-test-suite/
Phoronix Test Suite Files: /usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/

In /usr/bin:

./phoronix-test-suite

just returns:

To run the Phoronix Test Suite locally you must first change directories to phoronix-test-suite/                                                                                  
or install the program using the install-sh script. For support visit: http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/

Tried rehash and then running: 'phoronix-test-suite' from the command line prompt but get the same message.

The script is definitely here: /usr/bin/phoronix-test-suite but it won't run.

Also, can't use the GUI because PHP-GTK is a broken port - not compatible with PHP5.

Any idea what's wrong?

Can you post the contents of your /usr/bin/phoronix-test-suite script? It shouldn't be too long.

[dejamuse]

Here it is. Some commands don't look like FreeBSD to me. Maybe this is just for Linux?

What happens if you:

cd /usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/
./usr/bin/phoronix-test-suite system-info

or something like that? Or when you download PTS and extract it and before running install-sh, but just run: ./phoronix-test-suite from within the directory?

[dejamuse]

Just says command not found.

Nothing works. I think it's because it's designed for Linux.

You should get someone to make a FreeBSD port of this so more people can use it. You're missing a large community by not supporting BSD directly.

Sorry I just don't have the skills and time to get this working now.

Tnx, Jeff

What version are you using? I have ran the Phoronix Test Suite (1.6, 1.8, and early 2.0 snapshots) on FreeBSD, PC-BSD, NetBSD, etc... It runs on BSD. I wrote in the BSD support. Either you have hit some PTS bug or have some odd system configuration or something like that or there is a regression.

Using PCBSD 7.1 (FreeBSD 7.2)

A port is the easiest way to get people to use an app on FreeBSD.

I can get the phoronix-test-suite to launch and right now I'm going through installing each test because of a lack of xdg-screensaver(?) won't let me install the entire thing at once.

That said, /usr/share/phoroni... will not work and returns the message above about running locally and such. I should also mention that the mirrors for the necessary files have never worked for me, ever.

Try using a different DNS server. I don't think you can blame PTS for not being able to reach mirrors that the rest of us can.

Okay, I shall try it out. I use OpenDNS.org so I assumed that things would be fine.
