Not able to install kinetis design studio on 64-bit Ubuntu.

[germanrivera]

I get the following error:

$ ~/Downloads/kinetis-design-studio_1.1.0-1_i386.deb.bin

/home/b46482/Downloads/kinetis-design-studio_1.1.0-1_i386.deb.bin: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

/home/b46482/Downloads/kinetis-design-studio_1.1.0-1_i386.deb.bin: line 1: `!<arch>'

I seem to have the same library depdendecies in place:

$ ldd /opt/Freescale/KDS_1.1.0/eclipse/kinetis-design-studio 

  linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf76fb000)

  libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0xf76b5000)

  libdl.so.2 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0xf76af000)

  libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xf74ff000)

  /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf76fc000)

But stiil KDS doe snot work for me on Ubuntu 14.04. I get this error:

$ /opt/Freescale/KDS_1.1.0/eclipse/kinetis-design-studio

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"

I also tried running plain 32-bit eclipse (Luna release). And I get the same error.

(However 64-bit plain eclipse works fine)

I'm in the same boat...  Ubuntu 14.04  64bit, with no 32bit libraries.   I shall try the stackoverfow fix suggested above.

(Does anyone actually run Ubuntu 32bit?)

[michaelball]

Got it working!!!!

Arduino-Pi Ramblings: Running Kinetis Design Studio (32bit Eclipse) on 64bit Ubuntu

In a nutshell: install the deprecated ia32-libs..

sudo -i
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d
echo "deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring main restricted universe multiverse" >ia32-libs-raring.list
apt-get update
apt-get install ia32-libs

[christianrinn]

That worked for me as well. Thank you very much Michael!

I'm also wondering who is running 32 bit linux systems these days...

[michaelball]

I *suppose* there are some Pentium and lower out there... but nah... If you are installing 32bit Linux on an AMD or ANY recent Intel (by recent I mean 10 years or newer) then you're only getting half of the performance of the box.   I don't get it. 

Just because MicroSloth too forever to get a decent 64bit OS off the ground..... nuff said...

[christianrinn]

In factI have a few 32bit Linux systems arround but they are all ARM- and MIPS-based and I've never thought about installing any IDE on those :smileygrin:

Anyway I'm glad that it works and I definitely won't complain although it's good to hear that V2 will have native 64bit support. Actually the Linux support was one of the two reasons for me to order a few frdm-boards. The other reason by the way were Erich's tutorials on his blog. So thanks a lot for that as well.

[BlackNight]

Glad to hear that :-)

My view too is that 32bit Linux is going away for this kind of things. So V2.0.0 will be 64bit Linux only, and I hope now no-one will scream for 32bit binaries on Linux ;-)

[BlackNight]

KDS V2.0.0 will have Linux 64bit binaries.

[gschelotto]

Great.

Any estimated date for the V2.0.0 release?

No promise yet until plans are finalized. But it should be before end of this year.

[michaelball]

I want ALPHA privileges!    LOL

Please?

Hi German,

sorry about the confusion with the ldd command. The result isn't very helpful because it's only the launcher and not the real binary.

Please try to install gtk-library overlay-scrollbar in Ubuntu.

If it don't help may be this has something to do with the following: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23182765/how-to-install-ia32-libs-in-ubuntu-14-04-lts

Hi, German:

You can user dpkg  extract the kinetis-design-studio_1.1.0-1_i386.deb.bin file and copy relative file to /opt directory.

[germanrivera]

Thanks for your replies. I tried:

Renamed kinetis-design-studio_1.1.0-1_i386.deb.bin as kinetis-design-studio_1.1.0-1_i386.deb, as suggested in another post

and then I did:

$ sudo dpkg -i kinetis-design-studio_1.1.0-1_i386.deb

Selecting previously unselected package kinetis-design-studio.

KDS got installed at /opt/Freescale/KDS_1.1.0/

I tried to run it by doing:

$ /opt/Freescale/KDS_1.1.0/eclipse/kinetis-design-studio

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "unity-gtk-module"

But it failed to load.

Am I missing something? Or could this be caused by using 64-bit Ubuntu instead of 32-bit Ubuntu?

Thanks,

German

It finally works in my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (64-bit). These are the KDS library dependencies:

linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf7706000)

libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0xf76c9000)

libdl.so.2 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0xf76c4000)

libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xf7518000)

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7707000)

Hi German,

maybe you could try the following to get an idea what library is missing:

ldd /opt/Freescale/KDS_1.1.0/eclipse/kinetis-design-studio

Hi German:

My running environment is 64bit ArchLinux and I don't meet the issue like you, from the error log seem you miss  some 32bit libs.

Maybe you can search the web find the reason.

[gschelotto]

Hi,

I'm facing the same problem than German. Could someone help us with this issue?

Hello,

officially KDS V1.1.0 is only supported in 32-bit Ubuntu for now. It could be that the messages are caused by this, but I'm not sure.
