Timestamp probllems

[michiguel]

It works fine in Ubuntu linux 8.10 32 bits but it does not in 64 bits.

I got this error when I try to execute it
bash: ./timestamp: No such file or directory

Bob sent me his copy that is working in Fedora 64 bits but it does not work either in my system. What do you think I have wrong?
Is timestamp trying to access a file or library that I do not have? That will explain it

I don't believe that Ubuntu 64 bit kernel allows 32 bit executables. It seems that 64 bit operation is not a big priority at Ubuntu although this may be changing.

Consider switching wholesale to Fedora until Ubuntu becomes more 64 bit friendly.

You probably need the package lib-compat or something like that, which gives the 32 bit shared libs. Here's the output for "ldd" which you should have on your system. Make sure you have these libs installed...


linux-gate.so.1 => (0x003cd000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0012e000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x0036b000)

Good point. If the kernel doesn't have 32 bit executable support built in, then it is not going to recognize a 32 bit executable, even if you have the necessary libraries I mentioned.

Where did you get this information? Ubuntu 64-bit has had support for 32-bit binaries for years. I should know, I use them every day.

I haven't hit the Ubuntu site recently, but for years they seemed interested only in handing out 32 bit kernels. Maybe this has changed with the advent of more affordable 64 bit hardware.

Ubuntu does not develop Linux kernels.

You could try OpenSeal.

You could try OpenSeal.

That will not work. TimeStamp and TimeSeal are not the same. The former works with ICC, while the latter works with FICS and all other servers that are based on the open source ICS server.

A lot has changed in the last couple of years. They are very serious about 64-bit support.
