How to install Eagle 6.1.0 on Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit

When you try to install Eagle 6.1.0 on Ubuntu 11.10, you will probably get an error message stating that libpng14 is missing. Here is how you could sort that out.
  1. Prep Ubuntu for 32 bit compilation

    Code: Select all

    sudo apt-get install build-essential lib32z1-dev g++-multilib gcc-multilib ia32-libs libssl1.0.0 libssl1.0.0:i386 libjpeg8 libjpeg8:i386
  2. Download libpng14 from the following link

    Code: Select all

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/libpng/files/libpng14/1.4.8/libpng-1.4.8.tar.xz/download
  3. Decompress it by using following command.

    Code: Select all

    tar xvf libpng-1.4.8*
  4. Now change the folder and compile the source as below.

    Code: Select all

    cd libpng-*
    ./configure CFLAGS=-m32 --prefix=/
    make check
    sudo make install
    Note: For 32-bit Linux, remove "CFLAGS=-m32" and just use this line instead:

    Code: Select all

    ./configure  --prefix=/
  5. Now install Eagle.

    Code: Select all

    chmod a+x eagle-lin*
    sudo ./eagle-lin*
