'No such file or directory' starting program

guru

Go to your application folder and then run your command in command mode...

Hi guru

Sorry. It sounds good but I looked for it and I am not able to find out how to start my application in command mode. All the references I found only talk about QTcreator command mode.

Please, can you give me a link to where it is explained?

Thank you

guru

what kind of operating system did you use?

Hello

I have a linux compiled with Yocto running in a iMX6Q Sabre Lite board.

Thank you

guru

Hi,
I'm not well about yocto . Did you like to run your program through terminal mode means to go your application directory in the same terminal mode and use command ./myapp to execut your application.

controlhorus

Hello

I think you were talking about a special mode for QT applications.

That is what I am doing. I go to the linux console, then to my directory and then I try to run it. This is what I got:

./myapp
-sh: ./myapp: No such file or directory

This is due, as Graham pointed, to failed dependencies. We have a new recompiled program already running with the new versions. But it would be interesting to know what file or directory is not finding the starting routines of a QT application instead of that message. As newbies we were totally confused about it when we saw it.

Thank you any way

guru

Hi,
Now you run this command in same directory
@ldd ./yourappname@

this will list all your dependencies and library files, if any files missed this will show as "not found". If all files available then it will show path of such files.

controlhorus

Hello

Yes, we saw that utility at the link posted previously.

However:

ldd on the revised and working version shows the implied libraries
ldd on the old version shows the error:
/usr/bin/ldd: line 115 ./myprogram : No such file or directory

I deleted a libsomeone file used by working program and ldd does not crash. It lists libraries and it says libsomeone not found.

Curious?

Thanks.

Is your app executable ? Or just do chmod 777 yourapp

controlhorus

Hi

I login as root. It is -rwxr-xr-x. However I did:
chmod 777 myapp
chown root.root myapp

and nothing changes:
-sh: ./myoldapp: No such file or directory

Thanks

Ok. May be its the problem related to compilation. Maybe you have compiled on a 64 bit machine and trying to run on 32 bit.

controlhorus

Hello

I have a iMX6Q board. I upgraded the board with a linux complete image. The old image must have a Qt version and the new image is another Qt version.

myoldprogram runs on oldimage but it does not run on newimage.

I understood I have to recompile the program and I did so. mynewprogram runs fine in newimage.

The 'no such file ..' error comes from broken dependencies (it seems). But the cuestions remaining is: Is there any way to display what file is not there?

Thanks

p3c0

To see dependencies use ldd.
Try
@ldd appname ¦ grep -i not@

This will display the deps. which are not found

controlhorus

Hi

Tested before. Not working

Best regards

I had the same annoying problem (linux diagnostics rules!). I moved into LSB-ready linux, or moved executable from LSB linux into non-LSB one (I'm not sure now). Try to install LSB package or create fake mappings into your system libraries to simulate LSB libraries. I didn't find any tool which could diagnose this problem properly, let me know if you have one.
