[Elecraft] KX3 Utility Linux version

[a45wg]

George,

First check the app is 32 bit

  * ldd - will probably fail
  * ./exec - probably says No File
  * File info exec show it is i386 file

Add Arch support

   sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

Followed by

    sudo apt-get update 
   sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6Li386

You may need the odd extrac package but you should be on your way (I hope with this)

	Regards

I downloaded KX3UtilityLINUX_1_16_6_25.tgz and extracted it to a Linux folder.  It has a Help and Kx3util Libs sub directories as well as a Kx3util executable file.  If I click on the executable file or attempt to launch it via a desktop shortcut, nothing happens, no errors or warnings.

The Help folder has nothing about installation that I saw, and a Google search on Kx3util and Linux was no help.
