Installing Eagle 7.3 on fedora 21 x64

So, as before, you need to symlink libssl and libcrypto, but this time, you need to do the symlinking in the normal 64bit lib path.

/usr/lib64$ sudo ln -s libssl.so.1.0.1k libssl.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib64$ sudo ln -s libcrypto.so.1.0.1k libcrypto.so.1.0.0

This is despite the eagle installer saying that it needs the 32bit libraries installed!

Installing Eagle 6.5 on Fedora 18

I’ve spoken about this before, but here’s how to install current Eagle 6.5.0 on Fedora 18 64bit.

As before, this may be incomplete for a fresh install, ie, I’ve already installed all the 32bit compat libs. But Eagle expects to find OpenSSL 1.0.0. No other version at all.

You need openssl-libs.i686 to be installed, but that will be 1.0.1e, and none of the existing symlinks are suitable.

$ sh ./eagle-lin-6.5.0.run
/tmp/eagle-setup.11607/eagle-6.5.0/bin/eagle: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

However, you can just symlink it a bit more…

/usr/lib $ sudo ln -s libssl.so.1.0.1e libssl.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib $ sudo ln -s libcrypto.so.1.0.1e libcrypto.so.1.0.0

Installing Eagle 5.12 on Fedora 19 64bit

Earlier I wrote about installing Eagle 5.12 on Fedora 17 64 bit, but on a new computer, I have an updated OS, so here’s a revised list.

This should be the minimal steps to install. (You probably need glibc.i686 as well, but it _should_ get pulled in by these other libs)

  • libXrender.i686
  • libXrandr.i686
  • libXcursor.i686
  • freetype.i686
  • fontconfig.i686
  • libXi.i686
  • libpng12.i686 (Changed names since Fedora 17)
  • libjpeg-turbo.i686

libstdc++.i686 might have been necessary as well, but I had quite possibly already installed it.

Installing Eagle (5.12) on Fedora 17 (64bit)

Eagle is only provided as a 32bit package for linux, even as of version 6.3. I’m still using 5.x, for compatibility reasons, so I was trying to get it installed on my newish Fedora 17 64 bit install. Eagle’s #1 FAQ item is how to do this, but it’s for fedora 10, and some of the packages have changed. You also don’t need to install as many, as some of them will be pulled in as dependencies.

  • glibc.i686
  • libXrender.i686
  • libXrandr.i686
  • libXcursor.i686
  • freetype.i686
  • fontconfig.i686
  • libXi.i686
  • libpng-compat.i686
  • libjpeg-turbo.i686
  • libstdc++.i686
  • openssl-devel.i686

There, much better.
