Energia GUI not working

[submicro 0]

Hello all

 

I'm new to energia but not arduino. When I launch energia all seems well a pop up asks where to put sketches. I enter a folder location and hit ok. Then nothing! a short search through system monitor under running processes, turns up energia! but no gui is visable on the desktop. Can anyone help me out here? My arduino gui works fine.

 

P.S. I'm using Xubuntu 12.04 64bit

 

P.S I'm using energia 0008

Thanks

Well I decided to boot up an old version of regular old Ubuntu 10.04 lucid. Now I get the gui but I get this error

 

"/home/submicro/energia-0101E0008/hardware/tools/msp430/bin/../libexec/gcc/msp430/4.6.3/cc1plus: error while loading shared libraries: libmpc.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

 

I don't care which Ubuntu I boot to just want energia!

I compiled that stuff with Ubuntu 11.04. If you use that version it should work.

Thanks for the tip

 

I think I found the problem here is the error I get.

 

"java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/submicro/energia-0101E0008/lib/librxtxSerial.so: /home/submicro/energia-0101E0008/lib/librxtxSerial.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 (Possible cause: architecture word width mismatch) thrown while loading gnu.io.RXTXCommDriver

However I have no idea how to correct it!

I may just have to install Ubuntu 11.04

You can try to replace the librxtxSerial.so with the 64 bit version. You can get the binaries from here: http://rxtx.qbang.org/wiki/index.php/Download

Thank you very much that got the GUI working. However there is still an error when I try to compile code. here is the error.

 

"/home/submicro/Downloads/energia-0101E0008/hardware/tools/msp430/bin/../libexec/gcc/msp430/4.6.3/cc1plus: error while loading shared libraries: libmpc.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

 

This is really frustrating, makes me wonder if it's ever going to work right!

Anybody got any ideas?

[energia 485]

you can try to fix it with installing libmpc2 libgmp3c2 libmpfr4

Open a terminal window and execute: sudo apt-get install libmpc2 libgmp3c2 libmpfr4

[energia 485]

Ignore previoius post. Below instructions should get it to work for you. Verified in a virtual machine with 10.04 installation:

 

1: in a terminal do: sudo apt-get install libmpc2 libgmp3c2 libmpfr1ldbl

2: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libmpfr.so.1.2.2 /usr/lib/libmpfr.so.4

ok I think I figured it out, sort of! I need to use the "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=" command to point to the location of libmpc.so.2

which is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmpc.so.2

 

My problem is how to implement the command? would I just type export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmpc.so.2 ???

 

P.S. I tried the previous post's suggestion, it didn't work.
