FYI: ST19XL with no output in linux

[norton]

Just found the solution to the problem I was having running st19xl under linux. I would get no output at all from st19xl and i was immediatly dropped back to a prompt.

When running:
>strace ./st19xl
I got errors dealing with missing files, etc....

and
>ltrace ./st19xl
produced .dynsym and .dynstr errors

The problem has something to do with UPX compression.
The solution was to do the following(under Ubuntu 7.10, should be similar on other distro's):
sudo apt-get install upx-ucl-beta

Once installed then do from the directory st19xl is located:
upx -d ./st19xl

Now you should be able to execute st19xl without any problems.

I don't know how widespread this issue is but thought others might be able to benefit from this.

Wouldn't that go back to when the app was compresed after the compile? That would mean LB's compression was bad?

I dont know if Ubuntu just doesnt know how to handle UPX compressed executables or what. I do know that Fedora worked like a charm right off that bat with st19xl. If anyone knows exactly what is going on I'd be very happy to find out.

I actually found the fix because I had the same exact problem when trying to run hamachi. I searched for anyone else having that issue and thats how they fixed hamachi. I tried it on st19xl and it worked like a charm.
