Can't install xdctools, cgt or bios on Linux

Steve Talmage

I bought a BeagleBoard a couple of weeks ago and I'm still in the process of setting up a build environment for it. I'm using OpenEmbedded and it requires that certain packages be installed manually due to licensing restrictions. I've followed the instructions in OpenEmbedded (and from a bunch of other web sites), but I simply can't get these packages to install.

Specifically, I have downloaded bios_setuplinux_5_41_09_34.bin, xdctools_setuplinux_3_20_06_81.bin and ti_cgt_c6000_6.1.18_setup_linux_x86.bin from TI's web site onto my Linux system (Fedora 14). I've done a chmod +x on all the files, but when I try to run them, they immediately exit with a return code of 127. They're statically linked, so I don't think I have any dependency issues.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. Although I saw nothing related to these packages that mentioned which versions of Linux are supported, I did come across in the DVSDK documentation that officially, only Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32-bit is supported. I reinstalled my laptop with this exact version of Ubuntu, and now I'm able to install all these tools.

Thanks! You're message got me on the right track. I came across http://ibot.rikers.org/%23oe/20100810.html.gz this chatlog where they mention installing ia32-libs, which also fixed it for me.
