PSA: package was upgraded to upstream version 24.1.24086.542

As usual for new tax years, during the first launch, the program remains in a background to update the database with no visible activity on screen, with CPU at 100%. Do not panic and let it finish.

I have successfully managed to get PAYE RTI running by replacing

/opt/HMRC/basic-paye-tools/libm.so.6

with

/usr/lib32/libm.so.6

Experiencing the same problem here. Apologies if there are any formatting errors, I'll correct them when I get a chance. It's my first attempt using code blocks! If you need any more information let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Ross

When runnin the PAYE TOOLS

/opt/HMRC/basic-paye-tools/rti.linux

Will produce:

Thanks!

kubrick commented on 2019-04-29 15:12 (UTC)

hello @tlvince. I can reproduce the issue and it is probably due to the recent upgrade of lib32-glibc (2.28-6 -> 2.29-1).

I will see if I can do something about this...

tlvince commented on 2019-04-28 10:17 (UTC)

rti-19.x doesn't want to launch for me. First it complains about missing libxml2:

That's already installed:

Any ideas?

kubrick commented on 2018-04-08 16:00 (UTC)

No, I haven't found a way to contact them other than by phone on their helpline, and I've got a feeling this is going to be very time consuming...

tlvince commented on 2018-04-08 13:33 (UTC)

Thanks! NB, have you reported the RPATH issue?

kubrick commented on 2018-04-07 11:50 (UTC)

I think I found a solution. The configuration file doesn't seem to be necessary at all and the app just uses the defaults if it's not present. So the next release I do will just rename rti.cfg to rti.cfg.template and remove the Components section, so you can keep your custom configuration in place if you need one, it won't get overwritten.

tlvince commented on 2018-04-07 11:24 (UTC)

userdatamode=2 allows you specify where the DB is stored. It seems the original use case was to support network drives. See install guide (search userdata).

kubrick commented on 2018-04-06 22:06 (UTC)

Hi @tlvince,

I'm afraid you know more than I do already. What does userdatamode=2 do? the installer's built-in help says valid values are 0 or 1.

I strace-d the command and unfortunately it doesn't seem to be looking for a config file in a user directory, which sucks.

backup may be an option, I'll give it a try, I don't know what's the impact of the version string...
