help needed with Linux utils for K3, P3, KAT500 and XG3

I have just installed Linux Mint 15. I use to run Linux years ago, but
have forgotten most all I ever _thought_ I knew.

I have unpacked the K3UtilityLINUX_1_13_6_17.tgz and placed it in a
folder in my ~/ directory. But when trying to run the k3util executable,
I get errors that I am clueless as to how to fix them.

sam@AMD4 ~/elecraft/k3util_1_13_6_17 $ ./k3util
Failed to find/load Framework library
/home/sam/elecraft/k3util_1_13_6_17/./RBGUIFramework.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

sam@AMD4 ~/elecraft/k3util_1_13_6_17 $ ls -a
. .. .directory Help k3util k3util Libs

sam@AMD4 ~/elecraft/k3util_1_13_6_17/k3util Libs $ ls -a
. .. libRBAppearancePak.so libRBBrowser.so libRBRegEx.so
libRBShell.so libRBXML.so RBGUIFramework.so SSLSocket.so

I'm guessing that means a path needs to be added, but before I fubar my
system, I thought it best to ask for help and guidance on the 'correct'
location and way to do this.

sam@AMD4 / $ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games

I doubt this topic is of interest to the 'list' in general, so I'm open
to on/off list help from any penguinestas out there in elecraft land.

You didn't mention that you'd unpacked the tarball. You would have to
do that before trying to open an .so file buried in it.

try

tar -xvf <tarball filename>

Sorry, Sam. I didn't read your email closely enough.

Hi Sam,

This is most likely because you're running 64-bit Linux and the k3util
is a 32-bit app. You will need to install a bunch of 32-bit libraries
to get it to work. I reproduced the problem on Fedora 18 64-bit, and
got the k3util to work after installing several 32-bit RPMs. On Mint,
it *may* be as simple as 'sudo apt-get install ia32-libs'. If that
doesn't do it, try this:

ldd '/home/sam/elecraft/k3util_1_13_6_17/k3util
Libs/RBGUIFramework.so' | grep 'not found'

to see what you're missing...

perfect solution iain
I installed ia32-libs
and now the K3 util came right up

thanks for the heads up on the '32-bit' libs missing

Hi Sam,

This is most likely because you're running 64-bit Linux and the k3util

Sam,

I created an Elecraft folder in my directory and copied there the
utilities. Good idea is to use a file manager, I prefer Krusader because
it is a twin panel manager similar to Total Commander for Windows or
Norton Commander for DOS. This allows you to work with archives in the
same way as with directories. A hassle around command line things like

tar -xvf <tarball filename>

is an unnecessary obstacle.

You find there the directories
k3util_1_13_6_17 (in K3UtilityLINUX_1_13_6_17.tgz)
kpautil (in KPAUtilityLINUX_1_13_1_29.tgz)
kat500util_1_13_6_17 (in KAT500UtilityLINUX_1_13_6_17.tgz)
p3util (in P3UtilityLINUX_1_13_2_3.tgz)

copy these directories to you Elecraft folder. The executables (k3util,
kpautil, kat500util, p3util) are inside your new directories. After
first start they created its own folders for firmware and other files.

If something does not work, try the ldd command in your terminal, ie.

ldd k3util

it will tell you what component is possibly missed. My experience - all
works at first trial, you don't need to add anything. It works like a
champ, thanks Elecraft!
