To use acarsd the following library are required: Under Windows: -------------- wininet.dll comes with the Internet Explorer winmm.dll multi media lib. Should be installed on every system Under Linux: ------------ libpthread.so PThreads libncurses.so NCurses (Version 5 or higher) libz.so ZLIB compression library (www.zlib.org) libm.so Should be installed on every system libc.so.6 Standard C library libuuid.so Unique ID's (UUID) (comes with E2fsprogs) libtcl8.4 Tcl library (www.tcl.tk) libtk8.4 Tk library (www.tcl.tk) (Compiled against Tcl/Tk 8.4 Patchlevel 1) PLEASE NOTE THAT ACARSD REQUIRES ALSO THE libacarsd.so WHICH IS PROVIDED WITH THE ACARSD ARCHIVE *********************************************************************** UNDER LINUX THE EXECUTABLE CANNOT ACCESS LIBS FROM THE SAME DIRECTORY WITHOUT ANY CHANGES! *********************************************************************** First way: ---------- Modify your LD_LIBRARY_PATH set LD_LIBRARY_PATH = "./" or "/home/acarsd/" Second way: ----------- Copy libacarsd.so to one of the default library folders cp libacarsd.so /lib/ or cp libacarsd.so /usr/lib/ You can call the 'ldd' so see that acarsd can find all needed libs: Call: ldd ./acarsd You should see output like the following: ldd acarsd libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x40028000) libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x40072000) libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0x4009d000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x40081000) libacarsd.so => /lib/libacarsd.so (0x40097000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400a5000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
