• Problem installing Binkit

    From poindexter FORTRAN@VERT/REALITY to All on Fri Dec 28 03:44:44 2018
    Hi, Deuce/all -

    I'm trying to install Binkit on my installation freshly updated from sbbs_run.zip and sbbs_dev.zip (as of 27 December) and when I run jsexec binkit install, I get the following error. With my limited JS-fu, I've been crawling the .js files and see cnflib.read called, but can't see where it's defined.

    Any suggestions?

    My guess is you have an old cnflib.js file on your system somewhere. Search your entire sbbs directory tree for all instances of cnflib.js and then check the file(s) to see what revision(s) you have. Normally, you should only have on instance of this file, in the exec/load dir, and the latest is rev 1.13.

    binkit install, I get the following error. With my limited JS-fu, I've been crawling the .js files and see cnflib.read called, but can't see where it's defined.

    The variable 'cnflib' is defined in the line directly above the call to the cnflib.read method.

    When you updated via the sbbs_run archive, did you remember to update your exec/load/ directory? It's possible that you don't have the latest copy of cnflib.js, and if so, a number of other things are likely behind the times.

    I'd extracted the .zip file to /sbbs/exec/exec accidentally. Once I moved the new files into place, all is well. Thanks!
