tracegraph202 is a very old and obsolete tool and is incompatible to Linux still my University thought that it was a good idea to ask the students to install that. I tried installing that from here, here and here none works in my end. Please help

  • When in doubt, grab an old ISO and build a VM around Ubuntu 8.04. Just be advised that it will be difficult to track down working repositories for some of the older code.

  • The solution maybe provided faster if you share the installation package of tracegraph (tracegraph202.linux.tar.gz or whatever).

It is still possible by executing the following commands:

sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libxext6:i386 libxt6:i386
cd ~/Downloads
wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glibc/multiarch-support_2.27-3ubuntu1.4_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -y ./multiarch-support_2.27-3ubuntu1.4_amd64.deb
wget -c http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libx/libxp/libxp6_1.0.2-2_i386.deb
sudo apt-get install -y ./libxp6_1.0.2-2_i386.deb

wget -c https://lahore.comsats.edu.pk/research/groups/CNRC/tracegraph202linux.tar.gz
tar -zxvf tracegraph202linux.tar.gz
cd tracegraph202
wget -c https://lahore.comsats.edu.pk/research/groups/CNRC/mglinstaller.gz
gunzip mglinstaller.gz
chmod +x mglinstaller
./mglinstaller

Then add the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to your ~/.bashrc file by

echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/$USER/Downloads/tracegraph202/bin/glnx86" >> ~/.bashrc

then

source ~/.bashrc
./trgraph

This will give the following output:

  • Thank you, kind sir, for explaining this. I am getting the same error that you got. What should be the solution to that?
