troubles installing eagle

[T3STY]

@g8jvm:
I'm not sure which issues you're still experiencing, but you should have noticed that eagle uses only 32-bit libraries, 64-bit won't be used even if installed. Also, the libpng-turbo, the fork of libpng for fedora, is not compatible with eagle, so you'll have to compile and install the original libpng (link and details in a previous thread of mine).
Also, if you're still stuck with libssl, try with sudo yum install libssl-i386 (or i486/i586/i686, nut sure which one exists). This should install the 32-bit library that eagle needs. Although, I remember that this lib is installed together with the openssl package, so try installing this first.

Hi,
I'm aware that eagle is 32 bit, I've been using it since version 4.16.
I have loaded libpng14, but it wanting libssl.so.1.0.0, which is in FC17 but not 16.
I have loaded openssl from the fc17 repo, but now.

 error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file:

But

[richard@g8jvm-lap Downloads]$ rpm -q openssl
openssl-1.0.0i-1.fc16.x86_64
openssl-1.0.0i-1.fc16.i686
openssl-1.0.0i-1.fc17.i686

Strange it should have found it.
It's not a major problem as 5.11 installs on FC16, and the main differeneces are the newer package libs.
But I've yet to design a board without hunt for addition package libs anyway.
The main reason fom wanting it , is like climbing mountains, because its ther.

TIA
Richard

Hey g8jvm,

I followed the instructions here and it worked for me: http://return1.net/blog/2012/Apr/13/...6-on-fedora-17

On that post, Lucas has provided a link where you can download the required libraries. Extract these to /lib if you are using Fedora 16 (/usr/lib on F17). He has also given instructions on what you need to install from the repositories.

You can then run the Eagle installer. This worked for me. Let me know if it helps.

[g8jvm]

You are obviuosly running FC17, I'm still runing FC16.

If you read his list of installed libs it does not include openssl to provide libssl.so.1.0.0.
One method of obtaining that i686 lib was to install adobe reader, but the current adove version only installs libssl.so.0.9.8.
Thats fine for eagle 5.11 which I'm using at the moment, but not for eagle 6.2 which requires libssl.so.1.0.0.

Ive installed openssl i686 FC17, and put sym links in to /lib, But that is not allowing eagle 6.2 to install.
So what worked for you on your FC17 system is not working here on FC16 64bit.

[Louisda16th]

No I'm using F16 itself. F16 64bit.

libssl is there in the tar.gz package he has uploaded.

Quoting from http://return1.net/blog/2012/Apr/13/...6-on-fedora-17

A few libraries aren't available in the repositories, but I found them on the internet, and uploaded the required libraries here. Extract those files in /usr/lib (not /usr/lib64).

The "here" is a link (in that article). Click that and you should be able to download a tar.gz. Extract those files to /lib and it should work. Look at the comments in that post. I asked about what to do in F16.

[g8jvm]

You are referring to

A few libraries aren't available in the repositories, but I found them on the internet, and uploaded the required libraries here. Extract those files in /usr/lib (not /usr/lib64)

No location given there, and for what is to be gained between eagle 5.11 and eagle 6.2 its not worth messing up yums dependency list by installing from a tarball.
And libssl.so.1.0.0 is installed from openssl from the fed FC17 repo.

[richard@g8jvm-lap wspr]$ locate libssl.so.1.0.0
/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0
/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0i
/usr/lib/.libssl.so.1.0.0i.hmac
/usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0i
/usr/lib64/.libssl.so.1.0.0i.hmac
/usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.0.0i

There should be no difference between the version of openssl in the the Fed FC17 repo and openssl in the OpenSuse repo, which eagle 6.2 was built on.

[Louisda16th]

I figured there would be no problem with the tarball because I didn't have the 32 bit versions of any of those files. Only the 64-bit versions existed in my system.

[g8jvm]

I have other 32 bit packages installed , adobe, googleearth and a few others, It not worth breaking dependencies, for the upgrade from 5.11 to 6.2.
Unless you have pruchased the three packages which make up a fully working pcb design suite at last time I looked US$4000, both the free version and the student version with only allow a 3" x 4" double sided pcb, with no auto-router, but the is a a work around for that I found.
They have added a few direct paths from the board layout to board production houses, but the are expensive, and includedthe last few footprint libs.

If you are learning the package, BEFORE laying out boards learn to use the package manager for laying out component footprints etc. This will save you a lot of time when laying out a pcb with new components.

If you can get your hands on 32-bit versions of those 4 files and drop them into /usr/lib then you're good to go. If you're having trouble, I blogged about Installing CadSoft Eagle 6.2 in Fedora 17 x86_64
