My name is Patrick and I'm a crossword puzzle addict.
The NYT publishes its puzzles in Across Lite format, and there's a proprietary app (acrossl) which runs on Linux. Unfortunately it's getting really old and is binary-only. It worked under F11 but now the app gets a segfault on my netbook (though oddly it works fine on my 64-bit desktop, also on F12).
I downloaded http://www.nytimes.com/downloads/acllinux.smotif.tar.gz
[sam@nc10 acl]$ ./acrossl bash: ./acrossl: /lib/ld-linux.so.1: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory [sam@nc10 acl]$ sudo ln -s /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-linux.so.1 [sam@nc10 acl]$ ./acrossl ./acrossl: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [sam@nc10 acl]$ sudo ln -s /lib/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.5 [sam@nc10 acl]$ ./acrossl ./acrossl: error while loading shared libraries: libXpm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [sam@nc10 acl]$ sudo yum install libXpm [sam@nc10 acl]$ ./acrossl ./acrossl: error while loading shared libraries: libg++.so.27: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
... that's unresolvable - I have no idea where to get libg++.so.27 or anything close to it.
So I switched to: http://www.nytimes.com/downloads/acllinux.dmotif.tar.gz
[sam@nc10 acl]$ ./acrossl ./acrossl: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.2.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [sam@nc10 acl]$ sudo yum install lesstif-devel [sam@nc10 acl]$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libXm.so.2 /usr/lib/libXm.so.2.0 [sam@nc10 acl]$ ./acrossl ./acrossl: error while loading shared libraries: libg++.so.27: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So whatever I try, I get to that unresolvable libg++ dependency - so I think you are bang out of luck :o(
This is a completely different error from what I'm reporting. You're getting this because a library is missing. This has been that way for the last several releases of Fedora and I've always managed to resolve it by installing a compatibility library. In fact, to emphasize what I thought was clear already, the acrossl binary has no missing components. Here it is:
$ ldd /usr/local/bin/acrossl linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00c87000) libXm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libXm.so.2 (0x00d1f000) libXt.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x07d13000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x0080d000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x005d7000) libXp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXp.so.6 (0x00110000) libXpm.so.4 => /usr/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x00118000) libstdc++.so.2.8 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8 (0x00840000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00389000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x003b3000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x00b3a000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x00994000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x00254000) libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib/libxcb.so.1 (0x005b7000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00366000) libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 (0x005b2000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x001cd000) libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0x0094b000) $
The trouble is, on 32-bit F12 it segfaults and on 64-bit F12 it works. Note that it's a 32-bit binary.
Mmmm... I think my point, seeing as I was starting from a clean 32bit Fedora installation is that there are multiple points where the compatibility libraries no longer exist. My example would be libc.so.5 which I cheated by symlinking to libc.so.6 - that's not a particularly valid thing to do.
What I don't understand is where the version you have comes from. The README file I got with the version I downloaded clearly states that it is linked against libg++.so.27 - but I have no such library or anything close - I'd be curious if you do...
[sam@nc10 acl]$ cat README | grep -B11 -A3 libg++ The program is dynamically linked to the following libraries which must exist in a path searched by the loader in order to run the program:
libXt.so.6 (X11R6 tested with 6.0 libraries) libXext.so.6 libX11.so.6 libc.so.5 (tested with 5.2.18) libSM.so.6 libICE.so.6
libXpm.so.4 (tested with 4.7) libg++.so.27 (tested with 27.1.0 which is actually 2.7.1.0) libstdc++.so.27 " libm.so.5 (tested with 5.0.5)
