I did a tar -xf, & it got unpacked to a directory DarwinStreamingServer.
I "cd" into it, & there were a bunch of files & directories. One of them is
"Install".
I tried to run the installer as per their readme.txt:
./Install
[ "during the install, the streamingadminserver.pl application will
automatically launch". Does this require PERL to be installed? Does my
server have PERL installed? ]
When I did the above, it came back as "Command not found". Same thing, when
I typed "Install"
??
I don't understand, why it doesn't run Install.
Does my shell disable executing programs?
I went to a Unix tutorial:
http://www.computerhope.com/unix.htm
but couldn't find anything to help.
Anyone do a Darwin Streaming Server install on a Unix box?
