CCS/CCSTUDIO: CCS: CCSv7 installation fail - unable to locate libc6-i386 on Ubuntu 16.04

CCS: Can't install CCS9 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

I've followed the steps from http://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/ccs_linux_host_support.html but when I run the binary file installation fails because it can't find the 32-bit libc6-i386 even though I followed all the instructions sudo apt install all the dependencies and can see them in my terminal

    Hi Justin,

    Can you run 'uname -a' and post the output here?

    thanks

    Hi ki,

    The results were:

    Linux famer-Inspiron-3521 4.15.0-58-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 6 11:12:41 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    Thanks. That is the same as mine. Strange that the installer is complaining about the missing dependency.

    Can you provide the exact message you see (or screenshot) from the installer?

    Thanks

    Is this a native Linux machine or are you running in a VM or WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)? The latter (WSL) is not supported.

    Thanks

    It's definitely not a VM. I installed a linux distro on my laptop that use to be windows. I don't know if that is affecting my situation?

    No, assuming that this is now a laptop running Linux natively, that should not be an issue.

    The error you get I've seen on machines that are not a native Linux machine (VM, etc). Sorry for the delay, I'll need to dig around a bit more on why this issue occurs on native Linux machines.

    Hi,

    I just installed ubuntu 18.04.3 and I hit the same message immediately after booting the system for the first time - i.e., no additional packages on the system. 

    It seems that over the years Ubuntu changed the way to designate the i386 packages (several reports on e2e about this).

    When I issue the command shown in the Linux installation instructions using the argument libc6:i386 I get an error.

    cmd said:

    user@test-lab:~$ sudo apt install libc6:i386

    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:
    libc6:i386 : Depends: libgcc1:i386 but it is not going to be installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

    Then, issuing the very similar package name libc6-i386, the CCS installer process moves forward.

    From the command line can you issue the command below and see if the libraries are installed?

    Hope this helps,
