Trouble with Eagle 6 on Ubuntu 10.04

I downloaded the .run file from the website today for Eagle 6, but when I tried to run it, I received this error:

/tmp/eagle-setup.6445/eagle-6.0.0/bin/eagle: error while loading shared libraries: libpng14.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried to follow the advice given for 11.04 (seen here: http://www.element14.com/community/message/41329#41329/l/re-solved-problem-trying-to-install-eagle-6-over-linux-ubuntu-1110), but for me, the command "tar xf" does not work on .txz files. When I manually extracted the contents of the file and ran the doinstall.sh, but it gives me more errors (namely, could not cd to usr/lib).

Any specific advice for 10.04?

I'm running 11.04 but I got the same error (missing libpng14.so.14).

I followed these instructions and they worked great: http://balubati.atw.hu/blog/index.php?entry=entry111108-115133

Basically, I did this:

$ wget ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/eagle/program/6.0/eagle-lin-6.0.0.run
$ sed -e '1,/^__DATA__$/d' eagle-lin-6.0.0.run > eagle-lin-6.0.0.tar.bz2
$ tar xvjf eagle-lin-6.0.0.tar.bz2
$ cd eagle-6.0.0/bin
$ wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4295670/eagle_libs.tar.bz2
$ tar xvjf eagle_libs.tar.bz2
$ mv eagle eagle.orig
$ echo 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$(dirname "$0")" "$(dirname "$0")/eagle.orig" $@' > eagle
$ chmod a+x eagle

And now Eagle appears to run like normal.

Hope this helps.

P.S. I can't vouch for the authenticity/security of the eagle_libs files. They poster seemed like a nice guy but use them at your own risk!

This worked for me! I have no clue what some of those commands did, but I ran them and the IDE opens now, lol

Jason Webb, you're too trusting. It:

- Downloads Eagle and manually extracts it
- downloads the missing libraries (assembled by Márton Miklós? See the URL I pasted, I don't speak Hungarian).
- renames bin/eagle to bin/eagle.orig
- creates a bin/eagle script that sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH to ensure the right libraries are loaded, then calls through to bin/eagle.orig

and that's it.
