@koatao, CISCO it's providing it in the official .deb package, because it's needed for open packettracer from all directories (export PT7HOME), and if you have high DPI on your system (QT_VERSION_CHECK), I tested on my system without any issues since the first time, and yes, it's correct place is profile.d.
Check that you have all dependencies and the whole base package of archlinux installed.
Hi, @ElNinijo, the problem is, the script is not a bash script. Here what I understood about what the script does: export PT7HOME (/opt/packettracer) as environnement variable. Depending on the version of Qt (QT_VERSION > QT_VERSION_CHECK(5,5,0)), export QT_AUTO_SCALE_FACTOR (= 1) if version of Qt is superior to 5.5, else export QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_AUTO (= auto). @ruunyti, how did you test this script ? Why do we need it ? I deleted it, and packettracer is working fine without it (only got one bug yet). And is it really a good idea to put this script in profile.d if it is only needed to packettracer? (meaning it will be sourced for every instances of Bash).
-bash: /etc/profile.d/packettracer.sh: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token ('
-bash: /etc/profile.d/packettracer.sh: line 4:if QT_VERSION > QT_VERSION_CHECK(5, 5, 0)'
after update to the newest version i receive these info, where is porblem?
@horaciohs, Yes, it's necessary, and no errors are shown on my terminal or log.
Nothing is being compiled anywhere. Speaking of which, shouldn't this really be a -bin package?
Neither make it automatic, in both case you have to manually compile
@bkb: you can change the source= yourself if you want to download the binaries from a non-official location. Or, as you say, just install it from Cisco and lose all the advantages a package manager gives you.
The principle of a package manager is to automatize updates, if you didn't give any way to automatize this installation it's basically useless, it's just installing from Cisco with extra steps
packettracer 7.3.0-5 :
as CodingKoopa said, every terminal are showing in beginning:
bash: ./packettracer.sh: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token ('
bash: ./packettracer.sh: line 4:if QT_VERSION > QT_VERSION_CHECK(5, 5, 0)'
Is /etc/profile.d/packettracer.sh necessary ?
All fixed.

To install all versions of packettracer except 7.2.2, follow this guidelines: 1. Download the snapshot from this AUR. 2. Tar -zxf the packettracer.tar.gz snapshot (it creates the dir packettracer/ with the PKGBUILD on it). 3. Download the latest packettracer tarball from your Netacad account and copy it into the packettracer/ dir. 4. Create the package with the command makepkg (it creates a packettracer.pkg.tar.xz). 5. Install the package with either makepkg -i or sudo pacman -U packettracer.pkg.tar.xz.
Packettracer 7.2.2 are auto installable via run file, download it from netacad webpage and run it, you don't need this package.
