64 bit Linux

[randomandy]

I installed on AMD-64 bit version of Ubuntu with an Athlon64 CPU.

On my first attempt to execute:
/home/aerofly$ ./aerofly
./aerofly: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-0.1.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I did:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib
(This variable had no value previously)

Now when I execute, I see:
/home/aerofly$ ./aerofly
./aerofly: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-0.1.so.4: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

From my Googling, I surmise that aerofly wants 32 bit linux libraries instead of 64 bit, but I don't know if this is something I can fix on my 64 bit Linux by changing something on my system or if this can only be changed during the compiling of the aerofly binary.

I'll continue studying this issue, but any suggestions would be welcomed.

Hello,

so far I haven't tested AeroFly on a 64 bit Linux but I am pretty sure that I would have to recompile AeroFly for 64 bit or it won't work. But I might be wrong. Maybe you can look into that issue yourself in more detail. I currently don't have time to install a 64 bit Linux.

You should be able install a chroot account with 32bit stuff. Maybe I'll get around to trying this weekend.

Hi there I met the same problem.
wine also does not work with the simulator, other apps go well...

I could add a little more info to this task:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2276652

For me it does not wor since I could not find a: libusb-0.1-4_0.1.12-6_i386.deb for download.
A libusb-0.1-4_0.1.12-7_i386.deb does not help.
But maybe someone out there has a working solution?

Its a pitty that I have now a fast 64amd machine and can't use the simulator. At the end I have to install the M$ software at all? Beware of that!

Hi there
if you install the libusb-0.1-4_0.1.12-7_i386.deb
in the same way as told here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2276652

and do a: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib32:/usr/lib
you get rid of the error: ./aerofly: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-0.1.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But a new thing rises: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.0 wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64:
I think this means that openal is to be used in 32 bit version.
Does anybody know how to install such a 32 bit version on a amd64 machine?

Thanks!

if you do like this guy: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-422393.html
and: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib32:/usr/lib

The libopenal error is away.

But next error: ./aerofly: error while loading shared libraries: libalut.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

Hi

aerofly is now starting on 64AMD.
Download: http://ftp.cica.es/mirrors/Linux/deb...in/f/freealut/
libalut0_1.1.0-1_i386.deb

do same as with libopenal0a_0.0.8-4_i386.deb in: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-422393.html

and export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib32:/usr/lib

then sudo ./aerofly
it starts.

But does not find usb-dongle and brings up a warning: "keine opengl grafiktreiber gefunden".

But maybe we find a solution for that?

Gibt es eingentlich eine Demo Version des Aerfly 5 oder muss da jeder ohne Testfahrt in den sauren Apfel beissen? Bei dem Preis wäre sowas schon ganz nützlich!
Ich würde mir gerne (und ein paar weiter Mitarbeiter auch) den Aerofly 5 zuerst einmal Live anschauen bevor man einen Haufen Geld ausgibt.

Ich fliege noch mit dem "alten" AFPD, der Eine auf der Arbeit fliegt mit ****** und beide würden die neue Version sehr interessieren....

Die Demo Version könnte ja auch vollkommen automatisch sein! Ich meine, keine User interaktion möglich! Bis auf die Grafik-, Flieger- und Szeneneinstellungen, damit man sehen kann wie der Sim sich eigentlich auf "meinem" PC verhalten würde. Und, ob sich die Investition lohnen würde!

Hallo,

das ist hier die falsche Rubrik, insofern die spaete Antwort.

Eine Demo vom AeroFly 5 ist geplant. Wir ueberlegen aktuell noch, was dort alles enthalten sein wird. Infos gibt es dann hier im Forum.

Actually - if you folks need some help in recompiling stuff on 64Bit systems, I can do it. Having 3 64Bit Systems here (I also sign an NDA etc.) if required. And - I have Linux experience since kernel 0.7pxx back in 1993 or so ... :}
Actual Systems I have are a self built i5 2.4GHz Quad-Core, 4GB Ram, NVidia GTX275 (8xxMB Ram) and 1.6TB HD, Mac Mini 4,1 with NVIDIA GeForce 320M, 8GB Ram and 640GB HD, and a T61p Laptop 4GB ram / 200GB HD.

Just let me know if I can help.
Reason I don't like to use the compatiblity mode (32bit libs) - is that I tend to like taking full advantage of the hardware if I can.
