OALD8 in 13.04

[sokyoto]

Hello guys, how are you doing?
I'm a newbie to Ubuntu and I've installed 13.04 version
I used to run windows 7 and now I switched to Ubuntu; but I have a problem with installation of Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary8
I need it in my studies. I checked some links but they are outdated.
Can you help with a complete guide to how?

Thank you ^_^

Note: when I try to launch it from the commands I get this error : The setup program seems to have failed on amd64/unknown

[dino99]

install synaptic :

sudo apt-get install synaptic

sudo synaptic

then search about "festlex" and install the packages you need

I installed all this and I still get the same error:

The setup program seems to have failed on amd64/unknown
Fatal error, no tech support email configured in this setup

Also; I use this command to install setup.sh : Desktop/linux/setup.sh

When I tried to run it using setup.sh itself it turned to open as a txt containing a lot of commands.....

Can you please help me!!!

You should open the Terminal and navigate to the directory that way, typing in:

cd ~/Desktop/linux

Then you should type the command below, which runs the script to install the software:

./setup.sh

That should help you, but if the above command doesn't do anything, you should type (while in the linux directory) the command below, which makes the script executable...

chmod +x setup.sh

Hopefully that will help you, but I know installations with scripts can be kind of a pain.

Thank you ^^ It is my first time at a forum, so I don't know the rules

Thank you for your response. But it doesn't work. this is a screen shot of what problem I have:

Thank you

Okay, the chmod command isn't your issue then. Can you upload the setup.sh for us to diagnose?
