@samdorey @OpusOne
Thanks for reporting, should be fixed!

Same error as @OpusOne:

ln: failed to create symbolic link '/home/user/.cache/yay/picoscope7/pkg/picoscope7/usr/bin/picoscope': File exists

This is the same even on a fresh clone or after using git clean -dfx.

Latest update fails to build with the following error: ==> Starting package()... ln: failed to create symbolic link '/home/xxxx/.cache/aurutils/sync/picoscope7/pkg/picoscope7/usr/bin/picoscope': File exists

Yes, I've tried deleting the whole pkg/ directory before rebuilding, same result.

It does not work for me. After installation, the command 'picoscope' simply hangs indefinitely, no error, no complaints, no window whatsoever. Quits promptly on sigint.

What can it be?

Personnally I had to do the following thing to fix it:

cd /opt/picoscope/lib
sudo chmod +x PicoScope.GTK *.so*
for f in libiomp5.so libpicocv.so.1.0.0 libpicoipp.so.1.0.1 libps2000.so.2.0.0 libps2000a.so.2.0.0 ; do sudo patchelf --clear-execstack "$f" ; done

Crashes here too with

System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load shared library 'picocv' or one of its dependencies.

Post install did not run: no text "Running picoscope7 deb postinst" and no executable bit set.

Had to uninstall both pacman -R picoscope7 ps7_libpicocv and then install them back. Otherwise crash. Now it works.

Even with latest gtk-sharp. Thanks.

When does the 'postinst' script get called?

Schorsch commented on 2025-04-18 14:12 (UTC)

@OpusOne Sorry, not sure what to tell you. I just did a clean Arch install, installed Picoscope7 with Pamac/pamac-aur and it just worked... Maybe just try to manually chmod +x /opt/picoscope/lib/PicoScope.GTK ?

OpusOne commented on 2025-04-18 13:42 (UTC)

No error that I noticed. I am on Arch directly. I don't think that makes a difference, but I use aurutils to install/update AUR packages.

I'm looking at the /opt/picoscope/scripts/picoscope7_postinst script to try and figure out this permission issue.

Schorsch commented on 2025-04-18 12:40 (UTC)

@OpusOne Not sure what's with the permissions, I don't explicitly touch them. The postinst script from the deb package should take care of setting PicoScope.GTK as executable on line 29. For me the installed binary correctly ends up as

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 179203399 Apr 18 14:31 /opt/picoscope/lib/PicoScope.GTK

and I can run it directly like this. Not sure why you don't get x permissions. What OS are you running, so I can try to reproduce the issue? Did you get any error during installation regarding the postinst step?
