I have to install an agent software for my college intranet. They provide this .bin file as the installer file. I type ./file.bin after going to the right directory. It says

error while loading shared libraries: libglib-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What is the problem?

I have already done 

sudo chmod +x file.bin

edit:

/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0.3200.3
/usr/share/gdb/gdb/auto-load/libglib-2.0.so.0.3200.3-gdb.py

output of

sudo updatedb && locate libglib-2.0.so.0

libglib-2.0.so.0 should exist on all Ubuntu Desktop installations -- it will not on a command-line system. Are you running a desktop Ubuntu -- which version?

  • What is the output of sudo updatedb && locate libglib-2.0.so.0? – ish Aug 10 '12 at 06:28
  • updated question. – learner Aug 10 '12 at 06:40
  • Try sudo ./file.bin if you trust it; if that doesn't work, a link to the actual bin file would be the best way to troubleshoot this :) – ish Aug 10 '12 at 07:03
  • Well, its on the intranet of my college. How do I take you to the file? :) It is a very small one by the way. About half an mb. – learner Aug 10 '12 at 07:16
  • oh and adding sudo didn't work. It gives the same error. One more thing, while the site says it is a bin file, there is no extension as such shown in the name of the file. So when I tried ./file.bin it says "no such file". The main error occurs when I try ./file. Should I rename the file to file.bin. Sorry for not telling this before. Thanks – learner Aug 10 '12 at 07:18
  • Can you upload the file to mediafire or something like that? – ish Aug 10 '12 at 08:27
  • sorry for my late reply. One more thing I found out is, the file is for 32 bit Linux. THere is no 64 bit version they offer. Could this be the issue? If not I'll upload it somewhere. Thanks! – learner Aug 15 '12 at 08:59
  • That may be the issue. Please try installing ia32-libs, with sudo apt-get install ia32-libs and try again. – ish Aug 30 '12 at 23:49
