Sam,
I created an Elecraft folder in my directory and copied there the
utilities. Good idea is to use a file manager, I prefer Krusader because
it is a twin panel manager similar to Total Commander for Windows or
Norton Commander for DOS. This allows you to work with archives in the
same way as with directories. A hassle around command line things like
tar -xvf <tarball filename>
is an unnecessary obstacle.
You find there the directories
k3util_1_13_6_17 (in K3UtilityLINUX_1_13_6_17.tgz)
kpautil (in KPAUtilityLINUX_1_13_1_29.tgz)
kat500util_1_13_6_17 (in KAT500UtilityLINUX_1_13_6_17.tgz)
p3util (in P3UtilityLINUX_1_13_2_3.tgz)
copy these directories to you Elecraft folder. The executables (k3util,
kpautil, kat500util, p3util) are inside your new directories. After
first start they created its own folders for firmware and other files.
If something does not work, try the ldd command in your terminal, ie.
ldd k3util
it will tell you what component is possibly missed. My experience - all
works at first trial, you don't need to add anything. It works like a
champ, thanks Elecraft!

Dne 4.9.2013 19:57, Sam Morgan napsal(a):
I have just installed Linux Mint 15. I use to run Linux years ago, but
have forgotten most all I ever _thought_ I knew.
I have unpacked the K3UtilityLINUX_1_13_6_17.tgz and placed it in a
folder in my ~/ directory. But when trying to run the k3util executable,
I get errors that I am clueless as to how to fix them.
sam@AMD4 ~/elecraft/k3util_1_13_6_17 $ ./k3util
Failed to find/load Framework library
/home/sam/elecraft/k3util_1_13_6_17/./RBGUIFramework.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
sam@AMD4 ~/elecraft/k3util_1_13_6_17 $ ls -a
. .. .directory Help k3util k3util Libs
sam@AMD4 ~/elecraft/k3util_1_13_6_17/k3util Libs $ ls -a
. .. libRBAppearancePak.so libRBBrowser.so libRBRegEx.so
libRBShell.so libRBXML.so RBGUIFramework.so SSLSocket.so
I'm guessing that means a path needs to be added, but before I fubar my
system, I thought it best to ask for help and guidance on the 'correct'
location and way to do this.
sam@AMD4 / $ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games
I doubt this topic is of interest to the 'list' in general, so I'm open
to on/off list help from any penguinestas out there in elecraft land.
