10.4.12 (beta) 64 bit install instructions

Doug Snow

The last line in the known issues states,

"Installation issues on 64 bit. It is possible to run Bricscad (Linux) on a 64 bit system. However, the Bricscad (Linux) installers do not automatically add all required 32 bit libraries. Additional manual setup is needed."

Are these "additional manual setup" steps posted somewhere?

Thanks in advance for your prompt response.

did you mean only DEB package?

It installs just fine, but doesn't run. I'm specifically looking for the referenced "additional manual setup" steps.

BTW, I'm getting the following error,

segfault at 4 ip 00000000f29e2ef6 sp 00000000fff6f144 error 4 in libGL.so.1.2[f297d000+a7000]

 

if this helps.

Hello, the "additional manual setup" was not described before.

We are still sorting out the minimum package requirements on each of the supported systems (Ubuntu/Fedora/OpenSUSE 32/64 bit gnome/kde).  Bricscad always depends on the same set of libraries.  The required libraries are available on every system, but the packages containing those libraries are not the same across different distributions.

In the meantime, here's a description of what steps were made to run bricscad on a freshly installed openSUSE 11.2 64-bit, running KDE:

• Failed dependencies:
  libexpat.so.1 is needed by bricscadv10-10.4.9-1.i386
  libgcc_s.so.1 is needed by bricscadv10-10.4.9-1.i386
  libgcc_s.so.1(GCC_3.0) is needed by bricscadv10-10.4.9-1.i386
  libjpeg.so.62 is needed by bricscadv10-10.4.9-1.i386
  libpng12.so.0 is needed by bricscadv10-10.4.9-1.i386
  libstdc++.so.6 is needed by bricscadv10-10.4.9-1.i386
  libstdc++.so.6(CXXABI_1.3) is needed by bricscadv10-10.4.9-1.i386
  libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4) is needed by bricscadv10-10.4.9-1.i386
  libz.so.1 is needed by bricscadv10-10.4.9-1.i386
  SOLUTION: zypper install libexpat1-32bit libgcc44-32bit libjpeg-32bit libpng12-0-32bit libstdc++44-32bit
• /opt/bricsys/bricscad/v10/bricscad: error while loading shared libraries: libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  SOLUTION: zypper install libqt4-x11-32bit

  SOLUTION: zypper install freetype2-32bit
• in case there is a problem with fonts (each character is displayed as a rectangle): zypper remove cairo-32bit; zypper install gtk2-engine-murrine-32bit gtk2-engines-32bit librsvg-32bit pango-32bit qtcurve-gtk2-32bit

 

Here's a description of what steps were made to run bricscad on Fedora 64 bit, running KDE:

• Package BricscadClassic?-V10.4.9-1-en_US.rpm is not signed
  SOLUTION: edit /etc/yum.conf and change gpgcheck from 1 to 0
• opt/bricsys/bricscad/v10/bricscad: error while loading shared libraries: libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  SOLUTION: yum install qt-x11.i686
• /opt/bricsys/bricscad/v10/bricscad: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  SOLUTION: yum install gtk2.i686
• /opt/bricsys/bricscad/v10/bricscad: error while loading shared libraries: libfreetype.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  SOLUTION: yum install freetype.i686

Hi,

I haven't tried 10.4.12, but with 10.4.9 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit, installing ia32-libs (apturl, click to install) solved the problem.
