debian package installation

[jpspoo...@gmail.com]

I am running Linux Mint 20.3 on an i386 laptop; attempting to install pat (winlink).

lscpu gives: x86_64.

The debian package installation seems to go without a hitch, but the executable installed in /usr/local/bin always fails to run with:

bash:  /usr/local/bin/pat No such file or directory.

what am I doing wrong?

pat configure gives the same erro

I should add that env shows that $PATH includes /usr/local/bin. Also multiple installs on raspberry pi do not have this problem.

[Ed Fardos]

I'm guessing the /usr/local/bin/pat is a broken symlink, or some left-over.  run "ls -al /usr/local/bin | grep pat" to see it.

run "rm /usr/local/bin/pat"  , that'll get rid of it.

I exploded the pat deb, and you'll find the pat executable at /usr/bin/pat.

The "/usr/local/bin" path is typically used if you compile software locally.

Hi John,

You will get this error if you attempt to execute a binary compiled for a different architecture. You say you are attempting to run this on a i386 (32 bit) laptop, yet the output of lscpu suggests you are running on a 64 bit CPU.

1. What's the name of the deb you installed?

2. What's the output of: file /usr/local/bin/pat ?

3. What's the output of: uname -a ?

I second what Ed wrote.

John, it looks like you have some traces of a bad install from a custom build. Delete /usr/local/bin/pat and install the appropriate deb for your OS architecture (either i386 or amd64 depending on the output from uname -a).

Hope this sorts it out. If not, please share the answers to my questions in the provious email.

I'm glad it worked out :-)

I thought I downloaded the correct file but here's the info you requested Martin:

1) pat_0.12.1_linux_i386.deb

2) /usr/bin/pat produces "bash:  /usr/bin/pat No such file or directory

3) Linux john-Latitude-D630 5.4.0-124-generic #140-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 4 02:23:37 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I will try the amd64 download and bounce back

I am having the same problem installing on the pi.  I used the pi package, armhf, I’ve tried both 0.12.0 and 0.12.1. Pat is in the user/bin directory and is executable. Any help would be appreciated.

I suspect I’ll need to build from source as I’m using arm64.

Hi Ric,

We will start including arm64 deb packages in the next release (v0.13.0) which I am currently working on getting out. Probably this weekend.

If you’re very eager to get Pat running asap, you could build from source. Instructions can be found here: https://github.com/la5nta/pat/wiki/Building-from-source.

Ric,

Or you could try Luke's arm64 binary:

https://hearham.com/pat

It's linked a couple of paragraphs down here:

https://howtotrainyourrobot.com/winlink-setup-on-linux/

and a Pat basic howto sequel post from Luke here:

https://howtotrainyourrobot.com/pat-winlink-ft70-and-handheld-mobilinkd-tnc/

His binary works on both my Pinebook Pro (running Manjaro) and my Pinephone (running Mobian), which are both arm64 machines. As I recall, Pt was easy to build on my Pinebook Pro too.

[Martin Hebnes Pedersen]

FYI - I’ve updated the release (v0.13.0) with a linux/arm64 tarball for anyone running arm64 without a deb package manager :)
