I was trying to install weblogic 9 to test if an application is working correctly when migrated from a previous release. I downloaded the "Oracle WebLogic Server 9.2 MP3" and I was able to install it normally in CentOS 5.5

[jason@centos5]$ uname
Linux 2.6.34.1 #1 SMP Thu Jul 22 18:04:40 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

but, when I tried the same in Ubuntu 10.04 it failed

-bash: ./server923_linux32.bin: No such file or directory
[jason@ubuntu]$

I'm stumped any clues?

  • "No such file or directory" on an executable you know is there => run 'ldd' on it and it'll tell you what's missing.

The 32-bit libraries aren't installed under Ubuntu. Use ldd to verify.

    I guess you believe that he is running a x64 system. If that is the case then he might need to install ia32-libs package.

  • @Zoredache: See the first command run in each session. And I know that most RH-derivatives install the 32-bit libs by default on x86_64.

Thanks Ignacio, that was the problem

[jason@centos]$ ldd server923_linux32.bin
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4a457000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x4a439000)
[jason@centos]$

I installed the 32-bit libs and now I'm able to run it :)

[jason@ubuntu]$ ldd server923_linux32.bin
        not a dynamic executable
[jason@ubuntu]$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
....
[jason@ubuntu]$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
[jason@ubuntu]$ ldd server923_linux32.bin
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf758b000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf76f4000)
