[Jxplorer-users] Installation Difficulties - can't find basic system libraries

[Don Porter]

Hello,

I am trying to install and use JXplorer on a recommendation from
another happy user of the software, but I am stumped on an
installation problem. My system is running Ubuntu (Edgy) on an x86
cpu.

When I try to run the installer, I get this message:

[***@habals ~]$ strace -f -ff -F -o jx.log ./JXv3.2_install_linux.bin
Preparing to install...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...

The problem is that these libraries are installed on my system and in
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Even more strangely, when I do an strace, it
actually shows the main process finding and opening them:

[snip]
open("/lib/tls/i686/sse2/cmov/libdl.so.2", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/lib/tls/i686/sse2/libdl.so.2", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3
read(3, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0@\f\0\000"..., 512) = 512
[snip]
open("/lib/tls/i686/sse2/cmov/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/lib/tls/i686/sse2/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
[etc...]

So, any suggestions on debugging this problem are most welcome. I'd
really like to use this tool.

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration,

Don Porter
