I want to install NSIS on Ubuntu 9.04 but am getting the following error when i enter # scons PREFIX="C:\Program Files\NSIS" install :
scons: *** No SConstruct file found.
File "/usr/lib/scons/SCons/Script/Main.py", line 830, in _main
ANY ideas as to how to overcome this? I have looked in the usr/lib/scons/SCons/script and SConstruct does not exist! Am i missing something?
I have already installed Python 2.4 and scons 1.2.0
Regards
David

There's a NSIS package in the Ubuntu repository. Install it using aptitude or apt-get.
aptitude install nsis
Hi kichik, thanks for the quick response. I have tried what you said but i am getting the following message:
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
Also the lock file can not be opened or read (is this normal)?
Many thanks
David

You need to be root to install packages. Use sudo.
