acrossl: No such file or directory
acrossl: No such file or directory
I downloaded a program called acrossl (acrosslite) for diisplaying crossword puzzles from the NY Times. It is built for Linux, statically linked to the motif libraries. When I try to run it, I get:
bash: acrossl: No such file or directory.
If I put the executable in /usr/bin, I get
bash: /usr/bin/accrosl: No such file or directory.
Any idea what going on?
The documentation says it will run on an ELF system only. BTW, what is ELF as opposed to a.out? I keep seeing references to both with no explanation. I assume Debian 3.1 is ELF?
Thanks for any help.

I downloaded both versions from www.litsoft.com/across/alite/download.htm and had no luck getting either to work. Both were looking for libstdc++.so.2.8, which is OLD! Take a look at Gedam. I've no idea whether it's any good, but it is more recent.
That's what I figured out (a tar) after checking the website.
You bumped on a dependency issue. acrossl "complained" that "libstdc++2.8" is not present in your system. You mentioned that it's an old version, and that's true. You can grab that from potato (an old version of Debian).
I hope that helps.
Bon Réveillon!

Code: Select all
bash: acrossl: No such file or directory
Three possibilities:
1. acrossl isn't actually in /usr/bin/ -- do ls -l /usr/bin/acrossl
2. acrossl is there but is not executable -- The left end of the previous command should display three "x" and the word acrossl should be green.
3. /usr/bin/ is not in your path (highly unlikely) -- do echo $PATH
Edit 1: libstdc++2.8 can be downloaded from this directory. It installs without problem in the current version of Debian, and acrossl launches after it is installed.
Edit 2: acrossl can be run from any directory by preceeding it with "./" as in ./acrossl

With acrossl in the current directory I get the error message when I enter ./acrossl. If I put it in /usr/bin and run it from my home directory I get:Harold wrote:Three possibilities:

The "x" bit is on - shown by ls -l, I even did chmod 777 acrossl with no result.
