pillarone 0.3.1 fails to install under Ubuntu Linux 8.04 (Hardy Heron)

There seems to be a bug in the installation scripts of pillarone 0.3.1. When installing as root* on Ubuntu Linux 8.04 (Hardy Heron) in the default directory "/usr/local/pillarone", the installation fails in step 6/8 with the following error message:

/usr/local/pillarone/pillarone/plugin/install_plugins.sh: 11: grails: Permission denied

The bug is quite obvious, because a "ls -lh /usr/local/pillarone/grails/bin" reveals that the "x" bit of the grail scripts is not set. Thus the machine refuses to execute these scripts:

root@stefan2:/usr/local/pillarone/grails/bin# ls -lh

I am also a bit puzzled that it is not possible to deselect the installation of the JRE, which normally is already installed on most systems, but that's only a minor problem.

*using Sun Java 6 Runtime from within a root Nautilus window

Hi Stefan,

thanks for helping us to improve our software bundle. We were using an installer software called "izpack" which is a plain java installer product and therefore capable to be used on any platform. I am also working on Ubuntu, but did not see this error, as my PATH variable already pointed to a properly installed GRAILS installation. Therefore the bundled grails were never used for the application.

We have corrected this issue and I have tested by removing my GRAILS installation from the path and by checking the executable files within <INSTALLATIONPATH>/grails/bin.

A new installer will be released next week.

A new installer version of the reserving application is available.
