Hello List, I am attempting to install J Microvision on Ubuntu 8.10, an image analysis tool based on these instructions: <a href="http://www.jmicrovision.com/v127/install127.htm#Install">http://www.jmicrovision.com/v127/install127.htm#Install</a> I have extracted the archive and set the execute permissions via this: # chmod -R u+x JMicroVision-v127-linux Then I am unable to run the launcher so as suggested by the instructions I look for the libraries I am missing: # ldd JMVision This command gives me this list: linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb8066000) libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0xb7c96000) libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0xb7c0a000) libatk-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libatk-1.0.so.0 (0xb7bed000) libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 (0xb7bd3000) libpango-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0 (0xb7b90000) libgobject-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 (0xb7b52000) libgmodule-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0 (0xb7b4d000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0xb7ad6000) libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0xb7aa9000) libXrender.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0xb7a9f000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb79b0000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXext.so.6 (0xb79a1000) libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 (0xb797b000) libgthread-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0 (0xb7974000) libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0xb78bd000) libXinerama.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXinerama.so.1 (0xb78ba000) libXxf86vm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXxf86vm.so.1 (0xb78b4000) libpng.so.3 => not found libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0xb7894000) libexpat.so.0 => not found libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0xb787d000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb7879000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb778a000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb7764000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7754000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0xb773b000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb75dd000) libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 (0xb75d2000) libXcomposite.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXcomposite.so.1 (0xb75ce000) libXdamage.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXdamage.so.1 (0xb75ca000) libXfixes.so.3 => /usr/lib/libXfixes.so.3 (0xb75c5000) libcairo.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2 (0xb7552000) libgio-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so.0 (0xb74ea000) libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 (0xb74c2000) libXi.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXi.so.6 (0xb74b8000) libXrandr.so.2 => /usr/lib/libXrandr.so.2 (0xb74b0000) libXcursor.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1 (0xb74a7000) libexpat.so.1 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 (0xb7480000) libxcb-xlib.so.0 => /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0 (0xb747d000) libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib/libxcb.so.1 (0xb7464000) libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 (0xb7460000) librt.so.1 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/librt.so.1 (0xb7457000) libpcre.so.3 => /lib/libpcre.so.3 (0xb742d000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb804c000) libpixman-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpixman-1.so.0 (0xb73eb000) libxcb-render-util.so.0 => /usr/lib/libxcb-render-util.so.0 (0xb73e6000) libxcb-render.so.0 => /usr/lib/libxcb-render.so.0 (0xb73dd000) libselinux.so.1 => /lib/libselinux.so.1 (0xb73c3000) libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 (0xb73be000) Based on my admittedly amateur skills I have surmised that I have missing a couple of libraries and search for them via the package manager. My problem is that I can't seem to find them there. Am I looking in the wrong place? Additional stabs at this following further instructions yield a similar complaint: ~/JMicroVision-v127-linux$ ./JMVision -config ./JMVision: error while loading shared libraries: libpng.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ~/JMicroVision-v127-linux$ ./JMVision ./JMVision: error while loading shared libraries: libpng.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Any ideas where I can find these libraries or exactly what the problem is here?
