I just started to use Ubuntu. I installed the 12.04 64bit Ubuntu. Java and Eclipse are installed and working fine. When I install Accurev, I got the following error:

Preparing to install...
Extracting the JRE from the installer archive...
Unpacking the JRE...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...
strings: '/lib/libc.so.6': No such file

Launching installer...

./AccuRev_5_4_1_LinuxClientOnly_x86_2_4.bin: 3310: exec: /tmp/install.dir.2907/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: not found

anybody can help me? thanks

  1. A quick solution.

    Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run the following commands:

    For 64-bit Ubuntu (17.10 or newer):

    sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.6

    For 64-bit Ubuntu (before 17.10):

    sudo ln -s /lib64/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /lib64/libc.so.6

    For 32-bit Ubuntu (before 17.10):

    sudo ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.6

    In this site you have the solution, and I've seen that same problem before with other software, with other linux:

    You have to create a symbolic link to /lib/libc.so.6. Do that:

    1. Locate the file

      locate libc.so.6

    2. Create a symbolic link

      ln -s /path/to/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.6
