Graphics SDK install fails

Hi,

Error 127 means "Command not found". You shouldn't try to execute the installer without providing a path to it. Try running it with "./" in front. This shows that the installer is in the current directory.

Example:

./Graphics_SDK_setuplinux_4_10_00_01_minimal_demos.bin

Best regards,
Miroslav

Hello,

sorry, I did type the ./ but accidentally didn't include it in the listing above. There is no error message at all, it just returns to the prompt:

user@qakbox:~/t$ ./Graphics_SDK_setuplinux_4_10_00_01_minimal_demos.bin
user@qakbox:~/t$ echo $?
127
user@qakbox:~/t$

So it does look like it's a problem with the installer.

Best regards,

Jan

Hi Jan,

The installer runs absolutely fine with me. I'm running 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

What does the following command output (this will probably be HUGE, so please put it in a log file):

strace ./Graphics_SDK_setuplinux_4_10_00_01_minimal_demos.bin

Best regards,
Miroslav

Jan,

The installer is 32-bit executable. You need to install 32-bit libs:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

^{This had me confused for a while. ia32-libs does not install on my stock Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:}

user@qakbox:~/angstrom$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
ia32-libs : Depends: ia32-libs-multiarch
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
user@qakbox:~/angstrom$

However, I found that it is possible to install libc6-i386 ("sudo apt-get install libc6-i386"), and now the installer appears to work.

This is quite inconvenient though, it might be a better idea to package the SDK in a regular archive or package with the proper dependencies.

Jan,

Sorry for the confusion, but unfortunately due to license/legal requirement, it is not allowed to directly release a tarball.

Thank you Jan for sharing your solution. 

I think, this problem should be noted at the link below.

I spent a couple of days to find a solution on this matter.
