Qcad 2.2.2 for Fedora x86_64

[musicmaker]

I ordered the Qcad cd, but the only Linux install on it is for 32 bit machines, and I've got a 64 bit Thinkpad, with Fedora 10 installed.

Is there a 2.2.2 Qcad for 64 bit Linux available?

No, but you should be able to run QCAD 32bit on a 64bit machine with the necessary compatibility library packages installed.

This was the original error message:

$ ./qcad
bash: ./qcad: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

The solution, boiled down from a long iterative process of consulting the net, installing the next thing, reading the error message, and consulting the net:


yum install glibc.i686
yum install libXext.i386
yum install libSM-1.1.0-2.fc10.i386
yum install libXi-1.1.3-4.fc9.i386 libXrender-0.9.4-3.fc9.i386 libXrandr-1.2.3-1.fc10.i386
yum install freetype.i386 fontconfig-2.6.0-3.fc10.i386


One of the helpful things I learned along the way was that I can use
yum to look for individual libraries IN packages:

yum provides ld-linux.so

which gives me a selection of packages to choose from. The post I
found most useful was this:
