I try to install DS-5 for Linux(64 bit) on my Ubuntu 12.04.5(64 bit), and it warns me that a bunch of libraries are missing:
One or more of the DS-5 system dependencies are not installed, see below for a list of the missing libraries. libc.so.6 (32-bit) libfontconfig.so.1 (32-bit) libfreetype.so.6 (32-bit) libGL.so.1 (32-bit) libICE.so.6 (32-bit) libncurses.so.5 (32-bit) libSM.so.6 (32-bit) libstdc++.so.6 (32-bit) libusb-0.1.so.4 (32-bit) libX11.so.6 (32-bit) libXcursor.so.1 (32-bit) libXext.so.6 (32-bit) libXft.so.2 (32-bit) libXmu.so.6 (32-bit) libXrandr.so.2 (32-bit) libXrender.so.1 (32-bit) libz.so.1 (32-bit) One of: libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0 (64-bit) libwebkit-1.0.so.2 (64-bit) libxpcom.so (64-bit)
How should I find these .so libs? I tried to use apt-get but no package was found, and found nothing in http://www.rpmfind.net/
Anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot.
Hi,
When the shared library has a version, that will usually be in the package name too. So for example "libfreetype.so.6", the ".6" means version 6.
With regards to finding package names, you can use apt-cache like this:
$ apt-cache search libfreetype libfreetype6 - FreeType 2 font engine, shared library files libfreetype6-dev - FreeType 2 font engine, development files libgd-gd2-perl - Perl module wrapper for libgd - gd2 variant libcoin80 - high-level 3D graphics kit implementing the Open Inventor API libgd-gd2-noxpm-perl - Perl module wrapper for libgd - gd2 variant without XPM support libgd-perl - Perl module wrapper for libgd - gd2 variant
$ apt-cache search libfreetype
libfreetype6 - FreeType 2 font engine, shared library files
libfreetype6-dev - FreeType 2 font engine, development files
libgd-gd2-perl - Perl module wrapper for libgd - gd2 variant
libcoin80 - high-level 3D graphics kit implementing the Open Inventor API
libgd-gd2-noxpm-perl - Perl module wrapper for libgd - gd2 variant without XPM support
libgd-perl - Perl module wrapper for libgd - gd2 variant
Some are a bit awkward, like the zlib one.
Is DS-5 working for you now? As I mentioned earlier, you shouldn't actually need all of those packages.
Thank you for your help.
It is installed now, but these two pakages
libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev.
have messed up the grub so I am not able to boot now(stuck at boot splash screen)
I'm Googling for solutions.
I have solved all the problems now.
Fixed the grub by resintalling the grub using the command:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
Then I started DS-5 and no error occured.
Thanks a lot!
Yeah you probably don't want to install 32-bit versions of the display related (X, GL, etc) packages, as your system will be using the 64-bit ones.
Glad that it's working for you now
