      Hi all,

      I was trying to install lr-prboom, but had no success doing this through RetroPie setup. So then I tried to do it with:

      sudo ./retropie_packages.sh 241 install
      

      Which gave me the following error:

      = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
      Installing 'lr-prboom' : Doom/Doom II engine - PrBoom port for libretro
      = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
      
      Could not successfully install Doom/Doom II engine - PrBoom port for libretro (/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/lr-prboom/prboom_libretro.so not found).
      

      I also tried to install ZDoom using similar ways and gave the following error:

      = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
      Installing 'zdoom' : ZDoom - Enhanced port of the official DOOM source
      = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
      
      Could not successfully install ZDoom - Enhanced port of the official DOOM source (/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/zdoom/release/zdoom not found).
      

      Hard-/Software used:
      Pi Model: 3
      RetroPie Version: 4.1
      Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie

      Any ideas what might go wrong here?

        I fiddled a bit around and succeeded installing it using

        sudo ./retropie_packages.sh 241
        

        (without install verb) and now it works.

          @markus you shouldn't need to use the commandline (and be careful as it's possible to break stuff by using retropie_packages manually) - if you have a problem with retropie-setup you can post the error and I can advise. retropie_setup is just really an interface for the commandline anyway.

            @BuZz , well I did not succeed installing lr-prboom or zdoom using the retropie-setup. Debugging was a bit hard, because I could not see the error message: after failure the retropie-setup reappears. So I suppose the error in the retropie-setup was the same as in my first command line attempt.
            Are there any known issues regarding the install of these ports via retropie-setup anyway?
