Not able to install LiveCode 8.0.0, Linux 32

Post by astroboy » Tue May 10, 2016 6:08 pm

The installation of LiveCode 8.0.0, Linux 64, all users, ran on my 64 bits system without any issue.

However, I cannot say the same of the Linux 32 Installer in a 32 bit system. After typing the admin password (required for the "All users" option), a dialog appear with the message: "Installer slave quit without eof". Downloaded two times the file just to be sure it wasn't a corrupted file. No luck.

It does install using the "You only" setup. Is it a bug reproducible for everyone?

I haven't run a 32-bit distro in some time, but last time I did this tip from Neil did the trick:

If that doesn't solve it for you you might try running it with ldd to see if there are any unmet dependencies.

Please report back to let us know how it goes.

Hello

The suggested thread was not useful, since it refers to how to solve unmet dependencies for 64 bits systems.

I believe it's a bug on the 32 bit installer and not some unmet dependency, since it is able to finish without issues as "You only" setup, but it fails with the already mentioned message in the "All users" setup.

Well, it was helpful for me when I was using a 32-bit system. In your case the situation is indeed odd, since it works for "You Only" but not for "All Users". Are you running from an admin account? If so, you might want to file a bug report on that.

Well, all I can say (and I realise is that it isn't very helpful) is that I installed
Livecode 8.0 "Stable" on Linux Mint 32-bit 17 without a backwards look.
