Linux and K3 Utilities

[Jobst Vandrey-2]

I have been trying to run the K3 utilities on my Linux system (64 bit
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS).  I have loaded the items needed to support 32 bit
software but still can't make it past an error that says:

"failed to find/load Framework Library"

Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong???

Thanks
Jobst

Jobst, sounds like you need the .NET library, which you can get from
Microsoft by googling 'download .net.'

Tony,

On linux, trust me you do not need .NET !

Jobst

The k3 Utility runs fine on my 64Bit fedora system but I have a fair few
32bit libraries installed  

I am not sure what libraries you might be missing in your case but

ldd ./k3util

from the k3util directory should show you what it's looking for in terms
of libraries. Then it's a matter of verifying that you have 32bit
versions of these libraries installed, These should be available as
packages via apt-get

 here the output looks like
 
[bminish@redbox k3util_1_14_10_24]$ ldd ./k3util
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf77bd000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x44db9000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x44dc0000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x44fa8000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x44ddd000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x44f88000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x44beb000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x44bc5000)

I am not terribly familiar with Ubuntu, having run fedora, Centos and
Redhat systems for the last 15 years or so

This page may help you with understanding how to locate the packages
that provide any missing libraries, bear in mind you need the 32 bit
versions and work through the list given by 'ldd' to check that they are
all there

http://askubuntu.com/questions/454253/how-to-run-32-bit-app-in-ubuntu-64-bit

Happy to help out further if required, but perhaps someone more familiar
with Ubuntu/Debain systems might be able to offer more specific advice

You're not doing anything "wrong".  The Elecraft utilities are only
built for 32 bit Linux at this time, as I understand it.

Brendan gave good advice below to enable "multiarch" so that the 32 and
64 bit libraries can be installed and used at the same time.
Personally, I didn't care for the aesthetics of that approach so I
installed Debian 7 32 bit in a VirtualBox machine and I run the
utilities from there.  As I use the VM for other things and I don't use
the utilities all that often that approach works for me.

The nice thing about VirtualBox is that you can save the state of the
VM--much like putting a laptop into suspend--and then everything resumes
in a few seconds and when I'm done I save the VM again until next time.

HTH,

Hi Jobst,

Make sure the "k3util Libs" and "Help" directories are in the same location as the k3util executable binary. The working directory should contain:

k3util (binary)
k3util Libs (directory)
Help (directory)

It sounds like you may have moved the binary away from the Libs directory.

Regards,

David, W4SMT
