FLRig not running under Ubuntu 14.04 64bit

[w***@public.gmane.org]

Hello I am super new to linux as I have been MS guy since MS DOS, and I am glad I switched to Linux what a breath of fresh air, but I am having an issue, I cant seem to get FLRig to run under Ubuntu 14.04 64bit, I had it running on an old machine with 13.10 32bit but unfortunately that machine let out the magic smoke, so what I am wondering is, is there any way to get FLRig to run under Ubuntu 64bit, when I click on the launcher it just does nothing, any help would be awesome.

Thank you

Welcome to Linux....Don't ever look back!

A couple of questions...

What version of flrig are you trying to use?
Did you install it from the Software Center or download the latest from the web site?


What happens when you open a terminal window (command line) and type flrig [ENTER]?
Reply with the output error messages=.

I D/L the latest version from the dev web page, when I try to launch it from the terminal it says ***@desktop:~/tarballs/bin$ flrig flrig: command not found


I can see the programs and its folders but I cant get it to launch, i know I must be doing something wrong, just not sure what

[Larry Levesque]

Try this ./flrig

Looks like you might have downloaded the executable only.

And you did not "install" it on your system (put it in a directory that the system can find).

I really would recommend you learn how to compile from source.
That way you can have the system automatically install it in the appropriate directory.

I use a different method, I always create a /home/user/bin directory and put all of my executables in there after I compile them.
The first time you make that directory, you will have to log out and back in for the system to recognize it.
The system will recognize programs in that directory.

Did you follow this ?


$ cd
$ mkdir tarballs
$ cd tarballs
$ wget http://www.w1hkj.com/downloads/fldigi/fldigi-3.21.3.bin.tgz
$ cd /usr/local
$ sudo tar xzf $HOME/tarballs/fldigi-3.21.3.bin.tgz
$ cd

substituting flrig current version.

Yes i did, and thanks to all for there help, I finaly got it up and running by uninstalling 63 and down grading to 32 bit and all is well, guess the program just didn't like 64 bit

Hi....FWIW....i always put a 32 bit version of an O/S on my Linux Ham
computer.
There is a lot of ham programs built on 32 bit still and ive found many
hassles
trying to get 32 bit ones working on 64 bit versions .It also makes it
easier to run a Windows program under Wine.

thems my thoughts

Ok so now am having a new issue with FLRig under Ubuntu 14.04 64bit, I can get it to install following the directions but when I go to launch in I get the following error.

flrig: error while loading shared libraries: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


flrig is installed in /usr/local/bin and was installed with my account and not root.



Thank you

Your errors indicate that you are probably trying to run a 32 bit binary
on a 64 bit system. You must compile the application on your target
machine using the instructions that are on the fldigi wiki. These
instructions apply to all of the flxxx applications.

Same working environment, but here everything is working fine.
Could you please start Fldigi from the terminal, then paste here the errors?

73!

[w***@public.gmane.org]

Issue is not with FLDigi that's working great, the issue is with FLRig, but I will try starting that from terminal and paste info.

[w1hkj]

Sean, you need to build the application from source. Read the build
instructions on the fldigi wiki

https://fedorahosted.org/fldigi/wiki

Follow the instruction for building fldigi and then flrig and all of the
other flxxx apps will easily follow suite.
