mystified Posted November 2, 2002 Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 I downloaded a program I need. It was in tar.gz format so I untarred it and all that's there is a license and an executable file called acrossl. There's no configure, makefile, install or any instructions. I tried to run the program in the directory it's located in by typing ./acrossl both as root and user but I get an error message that it can't locate that file or directory. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

DOlson Posted November 2, 2002 Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 sh nameoffile  That should do it. I usually don't even bother with the ./ crap anymore.  If not, then chmod +x nameoffile and then try ./ again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted November 2, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 I tried sh acrossl and get "cannot execute binary file." I don't know if I'm missing another program that's needed to run it or what the problem is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted November 2, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 Okay, I found the home page, redownloaded and ran ldd acrossl with the following results:  [root@www acrosslite1.2]# ldd acrossl libXm.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2 (0x4001f000) libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x401b9000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40212000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40222000) libXp.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXp.so.6 (0x402ed000) libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x402f5000) libstdc++.so.2.8 => not found libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/libm.so.6 (0x40305000) libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x40328000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x40448000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x40451000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40468000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) [root@www acrosslite1.2]# ./acrossl ./acrossl: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.2.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory  I couldn't find libstcd++so.2.8 in rpmfind.net or anywhere else.  :?

bvc Posted November 2, 2002 Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 This is all I found. The rpmfind link has a 2.8 but it's a sparc.rpm. BUT, there' are some libstdc-compat.rpms, for what?, I don't know. http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.p....&system=&arch= http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3 google EDIT here you go http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/PLD/dists/ra...1.0-1.i386.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted November 2, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 Thanks bvc! I really appreciate all your hard work. I'm going to play with it tomorrow and see if I can get it up and running. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
