[Elecraft] Linux and K3 Utilities

[Brendan Minish]

Tony, 

On linux, trust me you do not need .NET !

Jobst

The k3 Utility runs fine on my 64Bit fedora system but I have a fair few
32bit libraries installed  

I am not sure what libraries you might be missing in your case but 

ldd ./k3util

from the k3util directory should show you what it's looking for in terms
of libraries. Then it's a matter of verifying that you have 32bit
versions of these libraries installed, These should be available as
packages via apt-get 

 here the output looks like 
 
[bminish at redbox k3util_1_14_10_24]$ ldd ./k3util
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf77bd000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x44db9000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x44dc0000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x44fa8000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x44ddd000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x44f88000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x44beb000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x44bc5000)

I am not terribly familiar with Ubuntu, having run fedora, Centos and
Redhat systems for the last 15 years or so 

This page may help you with understanding how to locate the packages
that provide any missing libraries, bear in mind you need the 32 bit
versions and work through the list given by 'ldd' to check that they are
all there

http://askubuntu.com/questions/454253/how-to-run-32-bit-app-in-ubuntu-64-bit

Happy to help out further if required, but perhaps someone more familiar
with Ubuntu/Debain systems might be able to offer more specific advice
