Running HDsentinel on x64 Systems.

[TheEvilDot]

Hi,

Just a heads up.
I'm running Ubuntu Server install 9.0x (x64) and I was getting the following problem.

I tried running HDsentinel with:

$sudo ./HDsentinel

but it gave the following error message:

"sudo: Unable to execute ./HDSentinel: No such file or directory"

Seems you need some x86 libraries to run HDSentinel on a 64-bit OS.

$sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
This will install 142 MiB worth of x86 libraries HDSentinel needs to run.

After installing HDSentinel works like a charm.

A 64bit recompile would save us some space

Hi,

Wow, thanks for the information !!

Personally I verified under Fedora Core 9 / 10 64 bit versions and I had no problems under them.

As I know, FreePascal (the Linux version is written by using FP) can build 64 bit version so I think it should not be a problem.

Yay !!!

When it's released I'll test it.

Thanks.

Got it running on my x64 system and it worked. With higher memory that helped of course.

In Ubuntu 14.04 x64 ia32-libs is no longer available in standard repositories.

However the gcc-multilib package is the closest drop-in replacement for the ia32-libs in 14.04.

Code: Select all

sudo apt install gcc-multilib

After installing this HDSentinel works fine in my fresh install

Thanks for the tip !

Anyway, in the meantime the 64 bit Linux version released and available from http://www.hdsentinel.com/hard_disk_sentinel_linux.php
(please scroll to the Download Hard Disk Sentinel Linux section, which contains download links for different Linux systems, eg. 32 / 64 bit, Raspberry PI / ARM ).
