[Elecraft] k3util 32-bit problem on Ubuntu

[Mike Markowski]

Thanks, Gordon.  lib32bz2-1.0 is not known by Ubuntu, but after some 
experimenting and googling based on your help I discovered:

  apt-get install lib32stdc++6

Progress, but now:

  ab3ap$ ./k3util
Failed to find/load Framework library
/home/mm/ham/elecraft/k3/k3util_1_15_6_27/./RBGUIFramework.so: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory

Quick hack, I copied k3util into the "k3util Libs" directory [Unix name 
with space (?) :-( ]  But no joy:

   ab3ap$ ./k3util
   Failed to find/load Framework library
   libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory

Easy, right?  Install the aging gtk2:

   ab3ap# apt-get install libgtk2.0-0
   Reading package lists... Done
   Building dependency tree
   Reading state information... Done
   libgtk2.0-0 is already the newest version (2.24.31-2ubuntu1).
   0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

I forgot.  It's of course 64-bit, as one would expect, so:

   apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386

however this wants to install very many old 32-bit libraries.  Ugh.  I'm 
reluctant to turn my machine into a relic for this old software, though 
my K3 will become a (firmware) relic if I don't.  Not a good solution 
either way.  Debating what to do...

73,
