Linbpq Problem
|
Not really RPi related, but I see there have been linbpq discussions here before. I am trying to set up something for Winlink on my Linux computer (Mint 19). I followed the directions for linbpq on www.cantab.net/users/john.wiseman/Documents/LinBPQ_WinlinkClient.html
Everything went fine until the end of the install script. The script ends with "./linbpq --adduser RMS "" TRUE" but errors with "Adding User RMS to BBS for forwarding to Winlink ./installWebMail: line 40: ./linbpq: No such file or directory" Checking the directory and trying to run linbpq I get: $ ll total 3384 drwxrwxr-x 3 michael michael 4096 Jan 28 12:07 ./ drwxrwxr-x 5 michael michael 4096 Jan 28 11:43 ../ -rw-rw-r-- 1 michael michael 770 Jan 28 12:07 bpq32.cfg drwxrwxr-x 2 michael michael 4096 Jan 28 11:43 HTML/ -rwxrwxr-x 1 michael michael 3438660 Jan 28 05:16 linbpq* -rw-rw-r-- 1 michael michael 4877 Jan 28 11:43 linmail.cfg $ ./linbpq -bash: ./linbpq: No such file or directory The file is there, I can list it, but when I try to run it, I get the "No such file" error. Any ideas? Thanks, Michael WA7SKG |

Sorry, I thought it would be clear that getting the directory listing with "ll" would have indicated that I was in that directory, as well as issuing "./linbpq" to run a file in that directory.

Does this help clarify it for you? michael@Desk4:~/ham_stuff/linbpq$ ll total 3384 drwxrwxr-x 3 michael michael 4096 Jan 28 12:07 ./ drwxrwxr-x 5 michael michael 4096 Jan 28 11:43 ../ -rw-rw-r-- 1 michael michael 770 Jan 28 12:07 bpq32.cfg drwxrwxr-x 2 michael michael 4096 Jan 28 11:43 HTML/ -rwxrwxr-x 1 michael michael 3438660 Jan 28 05:16 linbpq* -rw-rw-r-- 1 michael michael 4877 Jan 28 11:43 linmail.cfg michael@Desk4:~/ham_stuff/linbpq$ ./linbpq -bash: ./linbpq: No such file or directory The linbpq is a binary executable file.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýLooks like there's an asterisk at the end of the file name. You can rename the file to remove it:$ mv "linbpq*" linbpq Then try your command again: $ ./linbpq

The asterisk is not part of the file name. It indicates it is an executable file.

I ran the install script a number of times in different directories, all with the same results. I did eventually run the "file linbpq" command and discovered I was trying to run a 32-bit file on a 64-bit system. After installing the various 32-bit libraries it now works as advertised. I guess what threw me was the "No such file" error when, in fact, it was a 32/64-bit library issue.

"installWebMail" is the script that was running. The error message indicated line 40 of the installWebMail script threw the error. Line 40, quoted in my message is "./linbpq --adduser RMS "" TRUE" resulted in the File not found error, stating that the file linbpq was not found.

As it turned out, the binary file linbpq was a 32 bit file and the computer is a 64 bit system. Once I installed the necessary 32 bit libraries, the file executed as it should.
