How is R now (genuine question, I am not trolling)? I played with it a little bit when I started graduate school, but felt like I was reinventing the wheel coding things built into stata.
These directions were fantastic! Thank you. A couple of comments.
First, I think it's worth point out that we have to be logged on as root to do this.
Second, there is a typo in the install line. cdrom0 shouldn't be there:
/tmp/statainstall/install
Question - the last time I installed Stata for Linux I think I was able to update Stata (e.g., update all) without starting Stata as root. I don't remember how I got this to work. Does anybody know how to do this?
Thanks again - these instructions really should be available on the Stata website.
Also after doing all these, you may have to run this one as well:
Code:sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgtksourceview-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libgtksourceview-1.0.so.0
Thank you so much! Helped a lot!
Did you guys manage to install Stata in 10.04? I've recently done a clean install of Lucid, but I just can't install Stata. Whenever I come to the last command, the install command, I get "command not found", with or without ./
I just don't get it, do I miss a prerequisite?
Hi,
Just found this thread when searching. I have just installed STATA 10 on my Ubuntu 10.04 laptop. It is working fine, except when I try to update. I got the error message the "servers refused to send files". I looked up the stata site and apparently it has something to do with proxy settings, but I have not set any proxy as far as I know and the trouble shooting tips at STATA's site makes sense only for Windows (click menu bar and choose preference... there is no bloody menu bar in the Linux version!)
I wonder if anyone knows what the problem is and how to work around it. Thanks.
Oh, nevermind. It turns out to be just bad connection. It has updated successfully. :)
Speaking of updating: There is a really bad bug in Stata 11 when running under Ubuntu 10.04. It can seriously compromise the accuracy of your calculations (e.g. it changed the values of a variable when I renamed it)
There is an update that fixes the bug, so I would urgently recommend to run
in Stata.Code:update all
It's probably also a good idea to re-run your calculations from the last couple of months, especially if some results didn't seem to make sense...
