Title: Find cause of "not found" error
Post by: viselike on July 14, 2023, 06:56:07 AM
I'm trying to run Embarcadero's PAServer (https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/PAServer,_the_Platform_Assistant_Server_Application (https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/PAServer,_the_Platform_Assistant_Server_Application)) on TinyCore, and it fails with just the message "/bin/sh: ./paserver: not found"

As far as I understand, it fails to find some library, but which one? Is it possible to find this out?

What I've tried already:


So, is there any way to find out which library it does not find?

Typically that message means it cannot find bash, perl, python or similar.

Python was already present there, adding bash to the image didn't help, and I know no other "complex dependencies" like perl it might need.

For example, on Ubuntu all it needs is:
Code: [Select]
apt-get -yy install \
    build-essential \
    libcurl4-openssl-dev \
    libcurl3-gnutls \
    libgl1-mesa-dev \
    libgtk-3-bin \
    libosmesa-dev \
    libpython3.10 \
    xorg
And on TinyCore I tried to add all following packages:
Code: [Select]
RUN tce-load -wic \
    python3.9

RUN tce-load -wic glibc_base-dev
RUN tce-load -wic glibc_add_lib
RUN tce-load -wic glibc_apps
RUN tce-load -wic glibc_gconv
RUN tce-load -wic glibc_i18n_locale
RUN tce-load -wic libGL
RUN tce-load -wic curl
RUN tce-load -wic curl-dev
RUN tce-load -wic curlg
RUN tce-load -wic curlg-dev
RUN tce-load -wic gtk3
RUN tce-load -wic gtk3-dev
RUN tce-load -wic gtk3-gir
RUN tce-load -wic Xorg-7.7
RUN tce-load -wic zlib_base-dev

RUN tce-load -wic coreutils
RUN tce-load -wic util-linux
RUN tce-load -wic bash

Perhaps there is any tool to not guess, but see for sure, which file it has not found?

Locate your file 'paserver'
Code: [Select]
find /places -name paserverCheck file type
Code: [Select]
file /path/to/paserverIf it's any type of script, check the shebang
Code: [Select]
head -n1 /path/to/paserverUsually you'll see what you're looking for this way.
Like Juanito said, typically bash and stuff.

Locate your file 'paserver'
Code: [Select]
find /places -name paserver

It's a docker image I am creating myself, so both locations where I put the paserver are well known to me - it's a root and tmp folder:
Code: [Select]
/ $ find / -name paserver
/tmp/PAServer-22.0/paserver
/paserver
Quote
Check file type
Code: [Select]
file /path/to/paserver

file fails with the same error:
Code: [Select]
/ $ file /paserver
/bin/sh: file: not found
But it's an ELF executable:
Code: [Select]
/ $ od -t c /paserver | head -n 2
0000000 177   E   L   F 002 001 001  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0
0000020 002  \0   >  \0 001  \0  \0  \0 300 341   ~  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0
Btw, the paserver tool itself is available at https://altd.embarcadero.com/releases/studio/22.0/113/LinuxPAServer22.0.tar.gz (https://altd.embarcadero.com/releases/studio/22.0/113/LinuxPAServer22.0.tar.gz)

No, that error means  file.tcz  is not installed.

Also, see what this returns:
Code: [Select]
ldd Path/To/paserver | grep -i found

Indeed, thanks. Here what the file gives:
Code: [Select]
/ $ file /paserver
/paserver: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=725d773692b6f962a395205c93c4c7ba409d6ca1, with debug_info, not stripped

Also, see what this returns:
Code: [Select]
ldd Path/To/paserver | grep -i found

Nothing if grep for "found":
Code: [Select]
/ $ ldd /paserver | grep -i found
/ $
And here is the full output:
Code: [Select]

You're using a pre-compiled binary and it's looking for /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
A simple fix would be
Code: [Select]
sudo ln -s /lib /lib64
You'll need to backup that softlink if you wanna keep it persistent.
I would modify /opt/bootlocal.sh instead of putting that in /opt/.filetool.lst
It saves space

This fixed the problem. Thanks, polikuo, and all others!

It's a Docker image, so I will add a link creation command to the Dockerfile.
