K3 utility on Xubuntu 11.10 .. help needed
Locked
 
|
I need some help from a linux guru to get the K3 Utility working.
I am running Xubuntu 11.10 64bit. I downloaded and expanded the k3utility_1_4_1_8.tgz from http://www.elecraft.com/K3/software/k3utility_1_4_1_8.tgz when I tried to run the k3util using the command: ./k3util from my /home/<user> directory I see the error saying it can't find libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 searching what package contains this missing file using this page: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=oneiric&arch=amd64&mode=filename&searchon=contents&keywords=libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 the results say: You have searched for filenames that contain libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 in suite oneiric, all sections, and architecture(s) amd64. Found 5 results. File /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.6 can be found in Package libgtk2.0-0-dbg File /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 can be found in Package libgtk2.0-0 File /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.6 can be found in Package libgtk2.0-0 File /usr/lib32/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 can be found in Package ia32-libs File /usr/lib32/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.6 can be found in Package ia32-libs I'm in windows7 right now so, I can't immediately try installing any of those packages earlier today, I already tried installing the libgtk2.0-0 package got a message that it was already installed on the machine but afterwards I was still unable to locate the needed libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 file anywhere on the machine since my linux skills are quite rusty, my question is: when I do get the missing ibgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 file installed I think, I will also need to create a sys link in the directory where the libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 gets installed to the directory where the k3util expects to find it, some thing like ln -s /usr/something/something /usr/something/something_else as you can see I definatly need some degree of elmering with this so please contact me off list and I will post a summation reply when I get this ironed out and working TIA -- GB & 73 K5OAI Sam Morgan ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

> I see the error saying it can't find libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
This is probably because the binary is 32-bit and you're on a 64-bit distro. > /usr/lib32/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 > can be found in Package ia32-libs This is what you want. It's the 32-bit version of the library, purely for the purpose of letting you run 32-bit applications on your 64-bit system. > I can't immediately try installing any of those packages earlier > today, I already tried installing the libgtk2.0-0 package got a > message that it was already installed on the machine but afterwards I > was still unable to locate the needed libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 file > anywhere on the machine Right, you already have the 64-bit version installed (lots of stuff wouldn't work if you didn't). > since my linux skills are quite rusty, my question is: when I do get > the missing ibgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 file installed I think, I will also > need to create a sys link in the directory where the > libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 gets installed to the directory where the k3util > expects to find it, some thing like ln -s /usr/something/something > /usr/something/something_else Nope, just installing the ia32-libs package should do everything you need. > as you can see I definatly need some degree of elmering with this so > please contact me off list and I will post a summation reply when I > get this ironed out and working Hopefully you don't mind an on-list reply as I can imagine other folks might've hit the same problem! -- Dan Smith www.danplanet.com KK7DS ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Thanks Dan,
that was exactly the info I needed. My delay in replying was due to some problems with me and the small fonts in Xubuntu. I finally decided to change to LinuxMint, which I found was easier for me to configure with larger fonts. A bonus with Mint was the ia32-libs were already installed. <g> I tested the K3Util by installing the new k3fw4r48 which updated my MCU and FPF. (didn't even need to run it by using ./k3util just clicked on the icon) Mint is showing a lot of promise... so far. -- 73 & God Bless Sam Morgan K5OAI On Wed, Feb 29, 2012 at 5:44 PM, Dan Smith <[hidden email]> wrote: > > I see the error saying it can't find libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 > > This is probably because the binary is 32-bit and you're on a 64-bit > distro. > > > /usr/lib32/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 > > can be found in Package ia32-libs > > This is what you want.
