Bitwig Studio multi-platform music-creation

gabsik · 06-15-2014, 02:55 PM

Hi !
I have a lenovo laptop with debian as OS .
I wish to run BitWig Studio which was written for ubuntu linux platform.
My OS is:

Code:

Linux kali 3.14-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.14.5-1kali1 (2014-06-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux

When i launch it i get this error:

Code:

user@kali:~$ /opt/bitwig-studio/bitwig-studio 
/opt/bitwig-studio/bitwig-studio: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /opt/bitwig-studio/bitwig-studio

Any clues ?
Thank you !

You could try installing libc6 if you haven't already?

Are you trying to run a 32 bit program on a 64 bit OS? You will need 32 bit compatibility libraries. Some more info would be nice

Good question.
I'm trying to find out whether i downloaded bitwig 32bit or 64 on their website, here is a sample from bitwig tech-specs:

Code:

System Requirements
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux

5 GB free disk space required. Minimum 1280 x 768 pixel screen resolution. Minimum 2 GB RAM, 8 GB recommended. Multicore CPU. Windows 7 or later. Mac OS X 10.7 or later, 64-bit CPU Linux Ubuntu 12.04 or later, 64-bit CPU.

It looks to me a 64bit software ...

I'm not sure why you thonl that points to it being 64 bit?
Try running the following to check which libraries it is dependant upon, though note that the file you are running may be a wrapper script so if you receive and error you'll need to work out which is the executable and run ldd on that:

Code:

ldd /opt/bitwig-studio/bitwig-studio

The ldd output:

It is the 64 bit version then.
Have you tried installing libc6 with the following (as root or with sudo)?

Code:

apt-get install libc6

If that doesn't work then perhaps it has another name in Kali.

Sure i did:

Code:

libc6 is already the newest version.

Does libc.so.6 ezist on your system? What does "apt-cache policy libc6" return?
I'm guessing you're either missing a simlink or your version of libc6 is too old.

As an aside I'm puzzled why you're trying to install such software on a penetration-testing distribution rather than using Mint, Ubuntu or Debian?

here it is:

Quote:

user@kali:/home/user# apt-cache policy libc6
libc6:
Installed: 2.13-38+deb7u1

This laptop is the only machine i have ,i give priority to pentest-studies but as $user i'm trying to make it be my digital audio workastation, too.

Well, I'm afraid you've found the answer as to why it won't install -- Kali doesn't have a new enough version of libc6. Which means it must be using a backported kernel for some reason...
Anyhow, what that means is you can try to find out how to update libc6 in Kali or try top find a version of the program you want that works with an older version of libc6. I'm afraid I'm not entirely sure how you would do either. I can't see any backports of libc6 for Wheezy so perhaps there's a version of Kali based upon Jessie that you could think about using?
Of is it possible for you to find out which tools you need an how to install them in Fedora, Debian Sid or another less specialist system?

Ladies and gentlemen, for the win.

Or, just find / compile a newer version of glibc and (here we go) put the .so file in the same directory as the application you're trying to run. You can use a custom LD_PATH as well. You won't have to toufh the rest or the system, and your problem would be solved

Just few questions:
Does libc6 stays for glibc ?If it does would this version https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/libc6/download suits me ?

How do i set a custom LD_PATH ?Shall i use a sort of .bashrc file in the bitwig root directory ?

Thanks .... !

gabsik · 06-17-2014, 03:12 AM

Could this do the job without breaking the system ?

It might. Just download it and extract it to ~/local, and set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as follows.

Just put

Code:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="~/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu"

wherever you want. You could put it in ~/.bashrc, but if you only want to do it for one particular program, just make a script like so:

Code:

#!~/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="~/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu"
./my_program

and put it in the same directory as the program. If you have to do it for just one library, just put it in the same dir as the program and it will find it automagically
