I am using the current release of Debain Linux [64-bit]. CQRlog, fldigi, and other programs work fine with the K3. No I/O problems with the terminal, com ports, retrieving updates, etc. My problem is specifically with the k3util. I can't seem to figure out how to make it runnable.
BTW curl is installed. I downloaded the K3 utility file k3utilLINUX_1_13_6_17.tgz from from the Elecraft web site.There was no readme file in the documentation. So I worked on the basis of what I could gather from the Elecraft mail files. [That by the way is a bug report. At the very least a document explaining the installation of the files should be included in the tar file.] I extracted the content to a newly created ~/Elecraft directory. The files group was sudo, I was the user. I attempted to run the executable from the command line with ./k3util. The response was "bash: ./k3util: No such file or directory." Double clicking on the executabel produced a different response. "Failed to execute child process "/home/tuck/Elecraft/k3util_1_13_6_17/k3util" (No such file or directory)." chgrp to the files had no effect on the error messages. I suspect the paths are not set properly. But since there is no documentation I am stuck as to what is the appropriate procedure. Before I go down the rabbit hole, can someone advise me as to the apparently manual installation procedure on Linux? Tuck, W6TUK
