[Elecraft] KX3 Utility Linux version

[George Pasek]

Thanks for the suggestion Chris.  The response was:  
./kx3util: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. 

So it looks like it is a library issue.



tnx

George

If you open an terminal, change directory 'cd' to where the executable is, and try to execute it manually by typing "./execname" (don't forget the dot slash)  

that will expose any error messages that are not displayed when you execute through a file manager by clicking on the icon.

It's probably a library issue.

  I have been using the Windows version of the KX3 Utility but now that I have

  Utility.  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.

  I did read the "Minimum Operating System Requirements for Elecraft 
  Utilities:  X86-based Linux: GTK+ 2.8 or later, glibc-2.4, libstdc++.so.6 
  and cURL. 64-bit Linux requires 32-bit compatibility libraries" 
  requirements, and I also read that my version of Linux is 64 bit but comes 
  with the 32 bit libraries installed and is backward compatible with 32 bit 
  programs.  The Help folder has nothing about installation that I saw, and a 
  Google search on Kx3util and Linux was no help.

  I'm sure I missed something so if someone could point me in the right 
  direction I'd really like to get it installed.

  tnx for the help.
