I tried to use an 'old' software package cellstat. I got the package as a '.tar.gz', but it didn't seem to unpack properly (tar xvfz cellstat_linux.tar.gz): -- drwxr-xr-x 3007/30 0 1996-12-10 14:55:00 bin/ -rwxr-xr-x 3007/30 81430 1996-06-26 12:35:30 bin/xshow -rwxr-xr-x 3007/30 49152 1996-04-25 10:41:12 bin/cellstat -rwxr-xr-x 3007/30 20656 1996-12-10 14:55:00 bin/hips2tiff -rwxr-xr-x 3007/30 24843 1996-12-10 14:55:00 bin/tiff2hips drwxr-xr-x 3007/30 0 1996-11-19 10:54:01 doc/ -rw-r----- 3007/30 2326 1996-11-19 10:53:16 doc/README -rw-r--r-- 3007/30 1175 1996-11-19 10:53:16 doc/cellstat.cfg -rw-r----- 3007/30 3347 1996-11-19 10:53:16 doc/cellstat.n -rw-r--r-- 3007/30 1692 1996-11-19 10:53:16 doc/hips2tiff.n -rw-r--r-- 3007/30 1107 1996-11-19 10:53:16 doc/tiff2hips.n -rw-r----- 3007/30 3456 1996-11-19 10:53:16 doc/xshow.n drwxr-xr-x 3007/30 0 1996-12-10 14:53:28 samples/ drwxr-xr-x 3007/30 0 1996-11-19 10:54:22 samples/smo522/ -rw-r--r-- 3007/30 345 1996-12-10 14:53:05 samples/smo522/README -rw-r--r-- 3007/30 2097244 1996-12-10 14:53:07 samples/smo522/smo522.hips gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now -- OK, so far, some trouble, but I got the program itself and I copied it into '/usr/local/bin' (as it was recommended by the authors). I thought everythin would be ok, since I think the error only occurs with the samples, and the bins and docs are uncompressed properly. If i try to run the program (cellstat), I get the following: -- cellstat: can't load dynamic linker '/lib/ld.so nor /usr/i486-linux/lib/ld.so' -- I tried to make a link to ld-2.3.1.so (ln -s ld-2.3.1.so ld.so), but this didn't seem to change anything. I would like to know what's going on... and it would be even nicer if it's possible to solve this problem. thanks a lot in advance, Kurt Sys. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
