Can't get this 32-bit software to install...

pogeymanz · 2010-04-28 23:53:28

I'm trying to install LabVIEW, but that doesn't matter. The point is it's 32-bit and a .rpm

It comes with statically compiled rpm2cpio, cpio, and rpmq binaries so that it can be installed on non-redhat distros.

When I run the script to install without rpm, I get this error:

[rob LabVIEW ]$  ./bin/install.norpm labview85-core-8.5-1.i386.rpm 
/home/rob/software/LabVIEW/./bin/rpm2cpio: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
/home/rob/software/LabVIEW/./bin/cpio: premature end of archive
/home/rob/software/LabVIEW/./bin/rpmq: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

So, I installed the lib32-bzip2 package from AUR and now I have libbz2.so.1 in /opt/lib32/lib, but it still throws the same error. How do I get it to look for the libraries in /opt/lib32/lib?

Here is the script:

#!/bin/sh -
# This is a simple script to install an RPM on a non-Red Hat Linux system
# (or pre-RPM 4.0 Red Hat system).

}

    esac
else

    echo "e.g. $0 labview61-app"
    exit 1

fi

if [ "$2" != "" ]; then

if [ ! -f "$RPMPATH" ]; then
   echo "Cannot find $RPM"
   exit 1

   cd /
   install_rpm "$RPMPATH"
else

I'd suggest using a chroot, I had labview installed in one previously (now I just use the windows machine the lab provides, since the linux labview is really crippled).

I had thought of that, but I rather try to get this working first, because I like the lib32* method better. If I can't, I'll just have to use a chroot.

Do you have lib32-bzip2 installed?

Yes, I do.

So, I did a horrible thing to get it to install. I replaced the libbz2.so files with the 32-bit ones from /opt/lib32 just long enough to install it, then I put the 64-bit ones back. It worked, but LabVIEW wont run and it doesn't give me any info about the problem.

I guess I'll just have to chroot it. I hate that method, it makes twice as many updates.

Maybe extract the rpm and build it as Arch package would be better here.
Also have you tried using LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point the application where to look for the libs.

You misunderstand the issue, he's trying to install a 32-bit app in a 64-bit install.

And to the OP, its not as much work as repeatedly updating lib32 libraries from the AUR.... binary downloads are always faster.
