Linux Installation Pain

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

There might be a good argument for me not understanding quite how to install Eagle on Linux, but I have however not been able to instal the demo as specified in the simple instruction given on the Eagle www HERE

 

I have allowed the file to be executable and tried opening it as sudo and directly and the terminal window opens and then exits about 5 seconds later with no indication of what happened.

 

Linux Mint Cinnamon not sure of the Kernel, but latest version with updates as of 12/3/2014

 

Baring in mind this program costs a packet... what am I to do to get the executable running for the demo version?

    You might get some troubleshooting help by using the strace command.  That should tell you what it's doing...

     

    cd $EAGLEDIR/bin

    strace ./eagle

    I tried installing and running Eagle 4.09r2 on 14.04 and received the same response when trying to run it. The following package contains libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 and should work after installing it.

     

    wget http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-2.95/libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-27_i386.deb

    sudo dpkg -i libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-27_i386.deb

    thankyou very much.. that worked great..i can now get to the

    license/freeware screen..

    i noticed that it has some transparency issue..its there but kinda funny..i

    can see eagle if its over a dark background (like terminal)..i tried to

    write a xorg.conf with the 'fix' i found at cadsoft and just about lost

    everything..blank screen..reboot in recovery and just barely was able to

    rename xorg.conf to something else..wow..nerves bad now..i will take a

    break..

    thanks again..

    I'm all thumbs today. That should be 'Compositing' in the Window Manager Tweaks of Settings Manager.

    Fantastic, good find. I've been using XFCE for so long I didn't even think about other window managers.

     

    Have fun,

    Eric
