MCUXpresso 11.9 install on Ubuntu 23.10 fails

[adib1]

I use Ubuntu 23.10. THe original MCUXpresso fails to install on my OS version.

TLDR: please, NXP fix that Linux install method!

It claims not to find curses5 whereas on that ubuntu the ncurses6 is is installed.

Also checks for Python3.8 where python3.11 is on that system.

I xtracted the the deb.bin into pieces:
./mcuxpressoide-11.9.0_2144.x86_64.deb.bin --tar xf

Then I patched the curses requirements in the .deb file using blue print here:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/138188/easily-unpack-deb-edit-postinst-and-repack-deb

finally MCUXpresso installs without hickups.
I had to patch the path /usr/local/mcuxpressoide-11.9.0_2144/ide path to be accessible by me, as also executed in the install.sh script.

MCUXpresso is now able to run.

I can install SDK.

however linking fails on: Template not found for name memory.ldt

Any hints on that ? any Linux user here?

Regards, Adib.

Hi, @peterrasmussen 

For next major release (IDE 11.10, end of June), we plan to support the latest 2 LTS available versions: 24.04 LTS and 22.04.4 LTS.

Best regards, Alex

Hi, @adib1   

The current IDE release does not support Ubuntu 23.10, it only supports Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS / 22.04 LTS. You can try to replace the Ubuntu version to use.

If you encounter any problems with Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS / 22.04 LTS, please let me know, I hope I can help you.

Best regards, Alex
