Unable to install msp430-gcc on ubuntu 14.04

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC430F5137

Hi


I am using ubuntu 14.04 64 bit on virtualbox on Windows 8.1 64 bit host.


I have to build some project and the project uses cmake system. I need to cross compile my project for cc430f5137 and for this i require msp430 gcc.

I downloaded the msp430-gcc-full-linux-installer-3.2.3.0.run file as mentioned here .

when i downloaded then I did

sudo chmod +x msp430-gcc-full-linux-installer-3.2.3.0.run

then when I type

./msp430-gcc-full-linux-installer-3.2.3.0.run

nothing happens and I get a new line on terminal.

if I type

sh ./msp430-gcc-full-linux-installer-3.2.3.0.run

then I get the following error

./msp430-gcc-full-linux-installer-3.2.3.0.run: 1: ./msp430-gcc-full-linux-installer-3.2.3.0.run: Syntax error: "(" Unexpected

Even if I double click the.run file from the files directory, nothing happens

i am new to linux and I am doing this for the first time. I have searched the internet but I havent found anything useful.

Please help me in setting up the msp430 gcc tool chain

Thanks

    It works for me.  But I only tried it on a standard Linux machine.

    I doubt it has been tested in that setup.  That may have something to do with it.  This is the first I have heard of virtualbox.  Have you checked with them for possible problems or workarounds?

    Thanks and regards,

    If the installer exits without reporting an error it might be due to missing a required 32-bit library - since have seen the same behavior with the CCS installer.

    Try running the installer under strace, since that may highlight what the problem is.

    HI

    I got the solution. I installed Code Composer Studio 6.1.0 for linux. And then when I installed msp430-gcc, it executed like a charm.

    Thanks
