Installation Problem on Linux

[munaish]

Try running it in the Windows emulator, Wine (version 1.6.2). Works well for me on Xubuntu 14.04, granted mine is 32-bit, but it shouldn't make a difference with Wine what your system is. I've tried it before and it didn't work as well, but on trying it again with a newer Ubuntu version with Wine version 1.6.2 with the current Indexing download, it works great, so far.

Here's a link to the Windows installation download: https://indexing.familysearch.org/downl ... indows.exe

It works for me also.
Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit.

There are a couple of possibilities to solve your problem. Check out http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1411 ... -container

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and the suggestion to install libxtst6:i386 worked for me (see the post for details).

I'm running Fedora 20 (Design Spin, 64-bit). Installing the 32-bit build of libxtst worked for me as well. The command was:

Code: Select all

sudo yum install libXtst.i686

Yum installed the package and 7 dependencies. After installing libXtst.i386, I was able to run the FamilySearch Indexing installer. The installer reported several parse errors while running Iced Tea, but it appears to have been successful.

Apparently on Ubuntu 14.04 64bit it won't work out of the box, you need ia32-libs but Ubuntu 14.04 does not ship with it. You can do this:

Code: Select all

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

That still did not solve the issue. Maybe it will require a restart.
I also did this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libxtst6:i386

I ended up installing via console with ./Indexing_unix.sh -c. Let's see if it works after installation.
