You will get that error if the actual mount command fails.
You may wish to manually try the mount, of course you should also check the cloop table to see which cloop is the target of such mount.

Just found that it works on hda1. It fails on hda4 even after a manual mount, and on hda3, my main storage for unloaded extensions that all work Non-swap hda partitions are formated in Linux 83.

Here's a link to the app, which is only one exec file loaded to /opt/calc/bin (note: tcltk is required to actually run it )

calc.uci/

Okay, so I'm now at another laptop, and downloaded "calc.uci."
Hm.......exactly the same thing, loads fine from $HOME and hda1, but the same error occurs from hda3 as on the other computer. I tried another .uci file and it loads/unloads fine from hda3...got to be something about calc.uci....

That sounds really weird. I was thinking maybe the partition itself was being mounted without read permission, but it's very strange for that to happen on both machines.

Have you checked the md5 file against the downloaded extension?

When you succesfully mount it, take a look at the directory structure and file permissions of the /opt/calc directory. I'm just shooting in the dark here, but I have no idea what to look for at this point. Just maybe something will jump out at us.

What command did you use to create the package, and where were you (what directory) when you ran the command? Were you root?

I just downloaded your calc files, and will look at them soon.

Looking at the file permissions, when loaded from hda1 the /opt/calc folder it's 'drwxrwxr-x'. From hda3 it copies as 'drwxr-sr-x'; then it quits because it can't write the /opt/calc/bin folder.

I created the package in root, both directly from the /opt directory and also from $HOME/work/opt. I set the /opt dir permissions to 'drwxrwxr-r' before creating the image, but it changes when loading from hda3.
