[Elecraft] KX3 Utility Linux version

[George Pasek]

Ok, here’s what was sent to me to get the 32 bit KX3UtilityLINUX_1_16_6_25.tgz installed on Linux Mint ‘Sylvia’  Cinnamon Desktop edition 18.3  64-bit.  
Now the KX3 Utility is running.
tnx to all that responded.

Try these suggestions to get 32-bit running.

*****************  Dependencies for use with Elecraft Linux-based Utilities ********************************

1) 32 bit vs 64 bit Distributions 

The Elecraft Utilities for Linux are 32-bit and require installing 32-bit compatiblity libraries on 64-bit distros that will allow 32-bit apps to run. 

--------------------


On Unbuntu 14 and later based distros:

sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0.0:i386

sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module:i386

sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libglib2.0-0:i386 libsoup2.4-1:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386

2) cURL must be installed on your Linux distro for FTP

You will have to install cURL if it is not pre-installed. Most distros have it pre-installed, but not all. It is easy to install from a terminal:

sudo apt-get install curl

3) Ensure your DialOut groups are set up properly

Most users, other than root and members of the dialout group, do not have read/write permissions on the serial port device files. The Utilities cannot access the serial ports if the user does not have r/w permissions. An easy way to set the permissions is to add the user to the dialout group.

sudo adduser username dialout

4) All files and directories included in the gzipped tar file must be kept together in the same location. The "Help directory", "Libs" directory (ie k3util Libs), and executable binary (ie k3util) must all be located together in the same directory.
