Honored ContributorI am unable to run SoCEDSSetup-14.0.0.200-linux.run, this is on an ubuntu 3.2.0-63-generic-pae# 95-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 15 23:26:11 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux.
I have chmod +x to the file and I am root. The error is "cannot execute binary file" Has anyone else had this porblem and how was it resolved? Thanks
Honored Contributorfound to be a 64bit/32bit problem, dropped back to previous release
Honored ContributorSo you dropped back to 13.1 ???
I have a same problem. I just install xubuntu 14.04 64 bit only because of this and now I am facing 32bit lib dependency problems :/Honored ContributorI tried 13.1, and it still does not work. The file does not even open.
Any ideas?Honored ContributorI have done some tryouts and what worked for me was:
13.1 on Xubuntu 12.04 32bit 14.0 on Xubuntu 12.04 64bit 14.0 on Xubuntu 14.04 64bit An as you said $chmod +x <file> and than sudo ./<file> And what was output from 13.1 on your machine?Honored ContributorFor Linux you really need to check the install instructions. There are several libraries that are not installed in Linux by default that the Altera tools need. I think they have to do with running 32 bit apps built for older versions. Also, I don't think Ubuntu is a supported Linux distro for the Altera tools although I've heard that people have gotten it to work. I personally use Centos (based on redhat) and the tools work fine.
Honored ContributorIf you would like to use Ubuntu based distro with Altera 14.0 and above, I would reccommend 12.04 64bit because you are able to install ia32-libs package (has been replaced by lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 from Ubuntu 13.04) and you get all you need basically. Otherwise you have to install all missing packages by
$ sudo apt-get install package:i386 And at the end of installation you should get a listing if you are missing some of the libraries.Honored ContributorI installed Ubuntu 12.04 over 6 mo. ago using instructions from http://rocketboards.org/foswiki/documentation/gsrd131gettingstartedyocto#obtaining_yocto_source_package and it went smooth as cream, including sudo apt-get install ia32-libs. Now trying to setup new laptop with Ubuntu 12.04 (as stated on the aforementioned Rocketboards page, so I assume it is supported by Altera tools Galfonz) using the same rocketboard instructions - this time sudo apt-get install ia32-libs is not available. As a result, SoCEDSSetup-14.1.0.186-linux.run does not run.
I tried sudo apt-get install package:i386, but get 'unable to locate that package'. If anyone knows what to try next I would appreciate it.Honored ContributorSeems strange. I know it's matter of course but are you sure you installed 64bit version??? Otherwise try to search why are you not able to install 32bit libraries.
Honored ContributorDid a complete reinstall of 32 bit Ubuntu 12.04, just in case with all my messing around some wires got crossed.
Verified it is 32 bit from >Settings Installed the update, upgrade, etc. listed under Getting Started with Yocto - Ubuntu 12.04 on the RocketBoard.org page (http://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/documentation/gsrd131gettingstartedyocto) Did not install the ia32-libs, because as I understand it, it is only needed for 64 bit installs Downloaded the the SoC EDS. Comes as a .run Did a chmod +x, on it, tried to run, (i.e. ./SoCEDS ...), get a "cannot execute binary file" Tried >sudo ./SoCEDS...run , got Syntax error: "(" unexpected From what I can Google, the "(" Syntax error has something to bash vs. dash, so I ran >sudo bash ./SoCEDS...run, and I get "cannot execute binary file" Did a few permutations, i.e. sometimes with ,/, sometimes no sudo, always with bash, but result always "cannot execute binary file". Redid the first few install steps - no difference, because everything already was installed. Tried to install ia32-libs, but would not install ... which I expected. Same with package:i386 Most searched responses have chmod +x fixing the issue. I ran >ls -l and saw that the file attributes had x set. (-rwxrwxr-x) Any advice most appreciated.Honored Contributor
