I'm trying to run a older SIMetrix Version on Ubuntu 15.04 64bit (if there is a newer version of SIMetrix around tell me!).

When I do it I get following error:

user@user-Ubuntu-Laptop:/opt/simetrix_intro_53/bin$ ./SIMetrix ./SIMetrix: error while loading shared libraries: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But when I run sudo ldconfig -v | grep Xext the output is libXext.so.6 -> libXext.so.6.4.0.

So why is the file not found? Running SIMetrix with sudo doesn't help.

user@user-Ubuntu-Laptop:/opt/simetrix_intro_53/bin$ sudo linux32 --3gb ./SIMetrix ./SIMetrix: error while loading shared libraries: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I think you install 32bit program on 64 or reverse.... –  PersianGulf May 17 at 18:17
    
You can run via linux32 on 64 bit machine or linux64 on 32 bit machine. –  PersianGulf May 17 at 18:18
    
Yes that's correct, I have a 64bit system and the binary is made for 32bit. But the solution you suggested doesn't do the trick. –  Cajus Ammon May 17 at 18:45

Install the corresponding 32 bit library, perhaps? I.e. you probably have libxext6:amd64, but try installing libxext6:i386 as well. Paste the output of file ./SIMetrix , uname -a, ldd ./SIMetrix into your question. –  Faheem Mitha May 17 at 19:19
    
Hey Faheem Mitha, your suggestion did it! I installed libxext6:i386 with apt-get. Now libstdc++.so.5 is missing. Any way to install all dependencies at once? –  Cajus Ammon May 17 at 19:37
