**SOLVED** - Trying to install Daphne - Failing with error daphne.bin not found

Shazam

That's just it, it doesn't get to complete the Daphne installation nor does it make the daphne folder under roms. It's all still in the retropie-setup/tmp folders when it stops installation. It just seems like it won't install to get to this point where I can put the roms/images..

Did you try a reboot after install? As long as your internet access it working it should install fine, I have installed it on 2 Rpi3's with no issues at all.
If it still doesn't work you could try manually installing.
$ git clone https://github.com/Shmoopty/daphne-pi.git
$ cd daphne-pi
$ ./build-daphne.sh
$ sudo ./install-daphne.sh

@Finhead Awesome!! Tyvm for the manual installation process.. :D I'm going to try that now!

herb_fargus

just fair warning that build is a tad janky and wont work as well as the one provided with retropie.

Shazam

Manual install worked flawlessly!! You are the best @Finhead :D I owe ya one! :D

Shazam

@herb_fargus - I wish I could get the Retropie install to work - but every time I run it, I get the same exact errors, can't find daphne.bin in the Retropie-Setup/tmp area.. :(

Shazam

@herb_fargus @Finhead - Got it working with Dragons Lair!! Thank you very much for your assistance! :)

It would be useful to see the log to see why the RetroPie daphne build failed - please can you upload it somewhere (eg pastebin.com). logs are stored in ~/RetroPie-Setup/logs/

That's great you got it working, it looks killer with Attract Mode front end. I have it and Space Ace working nicely now.

@BuZz Sorry about that BuZz - I would have uploaded it sooner, but weekends are usually pretty busy around here :D

Here it is! http://pastebin.com/SDuMiqyj

are you running a wheezy based retropie image ? Wheezy is now unsupported. What is the output of cc --version ? The C compiler is too old I think hence I think you must be on Raspbian Wheezy.

Shazam

@BuZz - I thought I got the image directly from the Retropie site, but now I don't remember.

The response I get is:
cc (Raspbian 4.7.3-11+rpi1) 4.7.3

Is that the image you are referring to? Do I have the wrong image? I don't mind wiping it all out and starting over if I have to. I'd rather have a good version that's working than not :)

BuZz

and the output of cat /etc/debian_version ? Looks like you have an old image - you will need to start from a new Jessie image. Perhaps you downloaded the image before we switched over to Jessie.

BuZz

if you update the retropie-setup script, it should warn you if using the unsupported Raspbian version.

Shazam

@BuZz - That comes back as 8.0

I run the script - says that it's fetched the latest version and then flashes so fast and comes back to the menu system.

BuZz

ok that's correct - so look like you somehow have your default gcc set to 4.7 then - instead of 4.9

best bet would just be to remove gcc-4.7 for now (and make sure gcc-4.9 is installed)

Shazam

@BuZz I'm a complete noob when it comes to this stuff. Do I need to format the sdcard and start from scratch or is there a simple way to change it?

Thanks for all your input btw! greatly appreciated!

BuZz

from terminal - sudo apt-get remove gcc-4.7

but starting from a new image is an option if that doesn't solve it.

BuZz

without removing gcc-4.7 - this may sort it too

sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/gcc-4.9 /usr/bin/gcc
