GDC -2.41.10-build4635.471 linux install error

[Luke C.]

We have 2 linux machines using GDC-2.41.10 installed without issue, we now have a new Ubuntu laptop onsite and are struggling to install the same file, the installation claims the error:

+ err_msg=
  The bzip2 included in package seems corrupted (bad version).

  Please try to download the package again.

So then I perform an MD5 check of the file, and all seems OK..

$ md5sum -c fjs-gdc-2.41.10-build4635.471-lnxlc24.run.md5
fjs-gdc-2.41.10-build4635.471-lnxlc24.run: OK

This same file works for installations and extractions on other machines, so I presume there must be some perquisite that this linux laptop is missing?

I have attached a full debug report for the log of trying to install the file, note I can install with no checks, but the installed binaries to not load/launch so I can only presume I am missing other dependencies that the installer would have warned about. Can anyone help me get past this error message and diagnose why this might be?

As I said, the exact same file works fine on two other machines, so I don't think it is corrupted etc, have also tried re-downloading and transferring the file to the new laptop multiple times (incase it was corrupted when moving etc)

Hello Luke,

GDC 2.41 (released in 2012) installed on an Ubuntu last version 20.04 or 20.10.


I give it a try and I have no problem.

You installed the package : fjs-gdc-2.41.10-build4635.471-lnxlc24.run

It is a 32bit package - does your Ubuntu 64bit or 32bit ?

Hi Oliver, thanks very much that solved it.

Strange as this 32 bit package worked fine on two other 64bit systems, either way, problem resolved so thank you very much.
