[SOLVED]Autodesk eagle 9.2.6 doesn't work [Debian 11]

[whynot]

Hi Everyone
Is there anyone who could able to install and lunch eagle software?

wget -c https://trial2.autodesk.com/NET17SWDLD/2017/EGLPRM/ESD/Autodesk_EAGLE_9.6.2_English_Linux_64bit.tar.gz

While I am puzzled by some of the options you entered

Code: Select all

rm lib/libxcb*
sudo chmod 755 libexec/QtWebEngineProcess
sudo apt install libx11-xcb1 libxcb-dri2-0 libxcb-dri3-0 libxcb-glx0 libxcb-present0 libxcb-sync1 libxcb-xfixes0

I tried this and did not do the above - but more to the point, I too encountered the error you presented.
Looking into the options, there is this - and to be honest, I believe this error is on the link mentioned within my capture.
This appears to be something that neither you nor I can control.

Two things I'll mention -
1. I am a user of Eagle 7.7 (I hate the subscription service that they have offered since then)
and it did import my current settings.
2. I didn't bother to review the URL you presented prior toy the commands you used - so there may be something else on the vendors site that may be missing.

In short, this seems to be the software phoning home and home is not answering.

I cross over this side but it didn't help either

Further investigation ...

So - in my mind, there isn't much you can do about this until Audodesk figures this out.
Unless of course, this isn't a free version and it requires the use of a user ID and password before it reaches out to phone home to see if it's a valid subscription.
This very well could be the case - this is why I never opted to upgrade my 7.7.0 version. Back then, it was a perpetual license and you owned the software.

[whynot]

Yes there is something wrong with their server.

Thank you.

Now might be a good time to consider Kicad?

[whynot]

You`r right but I use Kicad everyday, Eagle is very popular and sometimes I need to re-examine some schematics.
I installed old version eagle-7.6.0 but this time I have to reinstall openssl

Code: Select all

$ ./eagle-lin64-7.6.0.run
Ensure the following libraries are available:
        libssl.so.1.0.0 => not found
        libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => not found

Code: Select all

./eagle: symbol lookup error: ./eagle: undefined symbol: crypto_num_locks

I solved like this.

Code: Select all

$ git clone -b OpenSSL_1_0_2-stable https://github.com/openssl/openssl
$ sudo mv openssl /usr/local/share/
$ cd /usr/local/share/openssl
$ ./config shared
$ make
$ sudo cp libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
$ sudo cp libssl.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

[cds60601]

Good deal I do much the same with the 2 libs however, I prefer a symlink. So here's what I did for that.
I created a directory within my Eagle-7.7.0 and called it lib (creative, right?!?!).
Took a copy of the 2 libs in question from the newer eagle version (9.6.2 will do in this case) and copied them into the /opt/eagle-7.7.0/lib directory.
Then created the syms - see below.

Code: Select all

cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
sudo ln -s /opt/eagle-7.7.0/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 .

Note the space and the period after the 1.0.0 - this simply states put the symlink here in this directory.
Did this for both libs instead of an outright copy to the location.
I didn't need to do the openssl stuff you mentioned above. I have done it this way since 7.7.0 (then again, I dont use newer versions of the program).
I suppose either works - I just happen to fancy using symlinks

[whynot]

Great Job!! It's clean installation.I like that.

[whynot]

Did you notice Eagle files have very bad file properties.
How did you setted up under /opt/eagle-7.7.0?
If I try to add icon what should I do? Is it better to copy under /home folder?

Code: Select all

$ cat /home/$USER/.local/share/applications/eagle.desktop
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

[Desktop Entry]
Version=7.7.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Icon=/opt/eagle-7.7.0/bin/eagleicon50.png
Name=Eagle
Exec=/opt/eagle-7.7.0/bin/eagle
Comment=Eagle CAD

[whynot]

I did like this

Code: Select all

sudo chmod 755 -R /opt/eagle-7.7.0
sudo chown whynot:whynot -R /opt/eagle-7.7.0

[cds60601]

Since I use a window manger (dwm) I don't use icons. I add the location to my path statement and just call it from the terminal. I think I also created a dmenu launcher for it and it certainly shows up in rofi also

[whynot]

Yes now server works again.

What is this?What do they try to do here? But there is no .desktop file in Autodesk_EAGLE_9.6.2_English_Linux_64bit.tar.gz

Code: Select all

$ cat /opt/eagle-9.6.2/bin/install-desktop-icon.sh 
#!/bin/sh

. $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs

case $1 in
  uninstall)
    rm -f $XDG_DESKTOP_DIR/EAGLE.desktop
  ;;
  *) 
    cp -fv $HOME/.local/share/applications/EAGLE.desktop $XDG_DESKTOP_DIR
  ;;
esac

exit 0

Code: Select all

$ echo $XDG_DESKTOP_DIR
/home/whynot/Desktop
$ echo $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs
/home/whynot/.config/user-dirs.dirs

I found this in internet

Code: Select all

cat /home/$USER/.local/share/applications/Eagle-9.desktop 
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

by the way we need to remove libxcb*

Code: Select all

/opt/eagle-9.6.2$ ./eagle
./eagle: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLX_mesa.so.0: undefined symbol: xcb_dri3_get_supported_modifiers
whynot@Whynot:/opt/eagle-9.6.2$ sudo rm lib/libxcb*

[cds60601]

You really should not be deleting things unless you really know what you are doing.
I'm not suggesting that you don't its geared more for others that may be following this thread.

I never had to manually remove anything when it comes to any version of Eagle.
I think at this point, you should get on the Eagle forums and see what others have done.

I simply untared the file, moved the Eagle dirs to /opt (both 7.7.0 and 9.6.2 and created my symlink to the crypt libs. That's all.
Never needed to rm anything from within any Eagle dir.

[whynot]

Those files in /opt/eagle-9.6.2/lib/ we need to remove otherwise it doesn`t work. I don`t know it could be conflict with libx11-xcb1 libxcb-dri2-0 libxcb-dri3-0 libxcb-glx0 libxcb-present0 libxcb-sync1 libxcb-xfixes0 packages.I read in autodesk forum.

I understand what your saying. I did not need to do that for mine. They are still in there and 9.6.2 works just fine for me.

[cds60601]

Do you have the Debian files located here:

cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
ls libxcb*

If you don't - this could be the problem.

Ah - if that's what they are saying then.
