I am installing XAMPP on ubuntu10.10
(i) i have extracted tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.7.tar.gz -C ./opt into the opt folder
(ii) When i write: sudo ./opt/lampp/lampp start
I am getting the following errors:
cat: /opt/lampp/lib/VERSION: No such file or directory
./lampp: line 126: /opt/lampp/share/lampp/selinux: No such file or directory

I searched through several forms on the net, but i am unable to rectify the error. I am a novice as far as xampp is concerned, so please excuse my ignore and help me find a solution?
I guess you have not extracted "tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.7.tar.gz -C ./opt into the opt folder" with root privileges.i.e.
sudo tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.7.tar.gz -C /opt into the opt folder
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
Try and do so with root privileges..I hope it helps you.
