I am trying to install 3_15_1 indexing on a MAC with Lion OS. The installer stalls looking for a message.bundle in a /de.lproj/... The installation is for English and should not be looking for a German (de) folder. In any case it cannot find the message bundle and fails every time. The OS is update date and Java is also up to date.

Any idea how to satisfy the need for this missing directory?

I have ubuntu 13.04 64 bit. If I install ia32-libs indexing works for me. Here are the complete instructions:

Download: https://indexing.familysearch.org/downl ... _3_17_7.sh

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
cd ~/Downloads
chmod +x Indexing_unix_*.sh
./Indexing_unix_*.sh

Unfortunately, the Family Search Indexing Forum was discontinued and replaced by their new Q&A tool (http://genealogysstar.blogspot.com/2012 ... inued.html). You can go to the following link, type "Linux" in the search bar, and get a few hits: https://familysearch.org/ask/productSupport

I submitted a request to FamilySearch Indexing Support (Case 3114176) to make the information from the original URL available. If you want to support this request, please email support@familysearch.org and reference the case number.

I'm also having troubles installing on a Linux system. It's an Ubuntu 14.04 64bit machine. I download the Indexing_unix.sh file and ran it, but I got the following error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java.awt.Container

Can anyone help us get this running?

Thanks,
Ken

As you can read below, you need to install at least ia32-libs library to have it work!
Onestly I have to install many more libraries, but you can try with this one first.

I've just reinstall a fresh Gnome Ubuntu 13.04, so I need to reinstall Indexing.
As soon as I can, I'll post what I do to have it works.
