soscmd on 64-bit fc11 not working

[sureshg]

I downloaded soscmd RPM (sospro-4.2-1.i386.rpm) and tried to install on FC11 64-bit version. It failed in finding the dependencies. Then I extracted the binary "soscmd" from the RPM and tried to execute the same on the machine. It failed with the following error.

[root@fc11build sos]# ./usr/bin/soscmd -v
-bash: ./usr/bin/soscmd: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

The ld-linux.so.2 file is located in /lib64/ folder. I don't know if I need to set any environmental variables $PATH etc.

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Suresh

SourceOffSite 4.2 (Sept 2006) was built against the i386 libraries, which are probably not found on today's latest OS's built with x86-64 libraries.

Your best bet would be to obtain the source for the *NIX clients, install the dependencies (glib 2.6, etc.), and compile the binaries yourself. I'm not 100% certain that would work, but that is probably your best option. o request the source and instructions for building email support@sourcegear.com.

Hi jclausius ,
I got source code from source gear. Thank you for your response.


However the compiled module soscmd is getting files filled with ZEROs. Any pointers please?

Thanks,
Suresh

soscmd works properly only if -nocompress option is given. Otherwise as I said, it returns ZEROs.

I would suggest not using compression, then.

We'll take a closer look at this after SOS 5.0 is released.
