Problem with Zotero Translation server

anderssinho · December 1, 2015

I'm not sure If I'm suppose to post it here but I will give it a try.
I'm trying to install Zotero Translation Server from github:

https://github.com/zotero/translation-server

But I'm having a problem installing it. I follow all the instructions, download the XULRunner SDK and so far so good.
But when I'm trying to do the step:

Build and Run

Run the build.sh script. If all goes well, there should be no output.
$ ./build.sh

The terminal tells me that there is some missing files or directorys.
Anyone else had similar problems or?

that's probably better suited for zotero-dev

with more details (i.e. the exact error message).
It might also help (if you don't mind) to add some background on what you're trying to do more specifically.

If you're on linux, I believe the current version of XUL runner is broken, so that might explain the errors. The running version of translation server is built with an earlier version. (That last bit is unofficial, I'm not certain about this, but encounter it when building the automatic test environment)

Ah okay can ask in the dev section then, just thought this was the better option.

Yea also read something about that the current version of XUL runner is broken, and the post I read said that version 29 worked for he/she.
And also I'm currently working on linux.

There is not so much more background story here. I'm just trying to set up the translation server again since I had to do a re-install on my hard drive. Last time did it work with the version 29 xulrunner.
This time I follow the instructions again and comes to the step where I'm suppose to "Run the build.sh script", with the comand:

./build.sh

But when I do the terminal is telling me that there is some missing files in the directory. And this should not be possible since I pulled it from Github.

I will try in the dev-section!
