When installing TrustedGrub i cannot get the install-sh file to run. I am wondering if YOU could throw some ideas my way about what i could be doing wrong?

here is a copy of the terminal, it just gives me an error when i try to run/install "install-sh".

sorry if this question is vague but this is the best i can formulate it being a linux beginner.

It would be very helpful if you provided actual error message that you are receiving.

I am following this tutorial here: https://www.grounation.org/index.php?post/2008/07/04/8-how-to-use-a-tpm-with-linux

Do you actually have a shell script called install-sh?

5

Did you read/follow the instructions in the INSTALL file? I have no idea why you are trying to run the compile script directly.

6

the readme says :

=== 2.7 Installation of TrustedGRUB, general steps ===

To compile and install TrustedGRUB, please run

 #   ./build_tgrub.sh

Additional parameters for the build_tgrub-script can be listed with

 #   ./build_tgrub.sh --help

and as root:

 #   make install

Furthermore, please make sure, to copy the file "default", which comes with this package, into
the directory, where your "menu.lst" is.
NOTE: Please make sure, that no *1_5-files are in your /boot/grub-directory. The only valid
files in there are stage1, stage2, default, menu.lst / grub.conf.

grounation says "
Read the file README.tGRUB, you need some specific tools to compile it :
$ sudo aptitude install aclocale automake autoconf gcc"

so i got installed those tools, then I ./build_tgrub.sh, then it says

root@debian:/home/shane/Documents/TrustedGRUB-1.1.5#   ./build_tgrub.sh
- Deflating TrustedGRUB
- Configuring TrustedGRUB

it never goes to - Compiling TrustedGRUB like grounation says"

Then start compiling :
$ ./build_tgruib.sh - Deflating TrustedGRUB - Configuring TrustedGRUB - Compiling TrustedGRUB

As you can see I'm trying this on my debian machine this time and getting the same results.

Does it have something to do with the automake, autoconf, gcc tools required?

Yes, you need the complete tool chain installed.

I read something about people having trouble with this on 64 bit systems.

I switched back to fedora 14 32 bit and now it seems to work!

I then reformatted another hard drive with 64 bit fedora 14 followed the same exact steps i did when i used 32 bit and can still not get it to work. I downloaded all of the tools except aclocal, i couldnt find that one and don't know what it is.

aclocal is detailed in the GNU automake manual.
