avast! 4Linux on Fedora Core 4
« on: March 03, 2006, 07:27:23 PM »
First. Thanks for the Linux release ;-) I have used avast! in MS and I think its great ;-)

I have tried avast! on my Linuxbox running Fedora Core 4 with latest kernel.
I downloaded the rpm package - it installs fine. But how do I get it up and running ? Nothing happens when I click on the avast! Icon.... Tried both in KDE and GNOME with same result.
Any hints ?
Thanks again

Try from the terminal, "avastgui"

Here is what i get:
[root@bs]# avastgui
basename: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/avastgui: line 115: /usr/lib/avast4workstation/bin/: is a directory
[root@bs]#

Maybe something is missing...? I'm a newbee to Linux....

You are least missing that one libc dependency according to that error message.  The GNU libc Libraries.   It is probably on your distro installation CDs.  It is probably called Glibc.  First thing to do is check and make sure it is installed or not on your platform.

Shouldn't Fedora (like YAST in Suse) find the dependency, ask for one of the installations CD and install it?

Yes, you're right.  It should have caught it.  But anything is possible during a rpm install that is designed for multi disributions of Linux.

Hmm.. I should ask my question here. In my suse 10. I did install all the package that relate to libc.so.6 (glibc and else), I found the file (libc.so.6) in /lib directory. But avast still cant run. Anyway im new in the forum. Advise are appreciated.

It's a strange problem.  Dublin is a man of few words but I would bet he is working on this.

can you move "programname=`basename $0`" line, found in line 114 of the /usr/bin/avastgui file, at line 90 before  "LD_ASSUME_KERNEL="2.4.1"" and "export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL" lines ?

then re-run avastgui
thx

I tried editing /usr/bin/avastgui and now I get another error:
/usr/lib/avast4workstation/bin/avastgui: error while loading shared libraries: l     ibpthread.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
This happens even if I enter setarch i386 or linux32

..BTW I have fedora core5 on an athlon64.
Is there any hope avast will work  on amd64?

it sees the properties of the icon of avast! in the desktop, in the separating application it looks for commando and it changes the line by     '/usr/bin/avastgui'

ve al icono de avast! en el escritorio, haz click con el boton derecho del mouse, entra a propiedades, en el separador aplicacion cambia la linea por:  '/usr/bin/avastgui'
