Can't find/install libXtst.so.6?
Solution 1
EDIT: As mentioned by Stephen Niedzielski in his comment, the issue seems to come from the 32-bit being of the JRE, which is de facto, looking for the 32-bit version of libXtst6
. To install the required version of the library:
$ sudo apt-get install libxtst6:i386
Type:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install libxtst6
If this isn’t OK, type:
$ sudo updatedb
$ locate libXtst
it should return something like:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXtst.so.6 # Mine is OK
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXtst.so.6.1.0
If you do not have libXtst.so.6
but do have libXtst.so.6.X.X
create a symbolic link:
$ cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
$ ln -s libXtst.so.6 libXtst.so.6.X.X
Hope this helps.
Solution 2
This worked for me in Luna elementary OS
sudo apt-get install libxtst6:i386
Solution 3
Your problem comes from the 32/64 bit version of your JDK/JRE... Your shared lib is searched for a 32 bit version.
Your default JDK is a 32 bit version. Try to install a 64 bit one by default and relaunch your `.sh file.

Had that issue on Ubuntu 14.04, In my case I had also libXtst.so missing:
Could not open library 'libXtst.so': libXtst.so: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory
Make sure your symbolic link is pointing to proper file, cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and list libXtst with:
ll |grep libXtst
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 7 2016 libXtst.so.6 -> libXtst.so.6.1.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22880 Aug 16 2013 libXtst.so.6.1.0
Then just create proper symbolic link using:
sudo ln -s libXtst.so.6 libXtst.so
List again:
ll | grep libXtst
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Sep 20 10:23 libXtst -> libXtst.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Sep 20 10:23 libXtst.so -> libXtst.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 7 2016 libXtst.so.6 -> libXtst.so.6.1.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22880 Aug 16 2013 libXtst.so.6.1.0
all set!

Don't ever use Arch Linux. It's just the worst and there is an unwritten rule of hate towards asking questions and seeking help. Assembly is the only language I recognize.

I don't have the libXtst.so.6 file in any directory, and I can't seem to find it anywhere to download. Has anyone else run into this problem, or know a work around?

Tropical_Peach almost 11 yearsThat did nothing, it installed something but I still get the same error.
-
Gauthier Boaglio almost 11 yearswhat do you get with
$ locate libXtst
? Nothing ? -
Tropical_Peach almost 11 yearsOkay, this works, I have the package now. All I need to do now is find out where I need to put if for script to see it
-
Tropical_Peach almost 11 yearsNow, I'm getting '[2013-06-28 00:24:46.802]: /usr/local/java/jre1.7.0_25/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so: libXtst.so.6: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64'

matbrgz almost 11 yearsTry the other one of the 32-bit/64-bit versions.
-
Tropical_Peach almost 11 yearsThanks, I had already done that, but yes it works, turns out I had the 32-bit of JRE instead of the 64-bit.

Admin over 10 years+1 @StephenNiedzielski. ( Step 1) download ultramixer.com/download.html Step 2) sudo apt-get install libxtst6:i386 Step 3) run ./UltraMixer4.sh . Workings )

Niklas Rosencrantz about 8 yearsThe answer above still works with Ubuntu 16 + Quartus II v12 32-bit edition.
sudo apt-get install libxtst6:i386
-
SeeJayBee almost 8 yearsI'd like to point out that this didn't work for me. Turned out I didn't even have the i386 architecture installed. So I had to first:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i368
thensudo apt-get update
. Then I could install the 32-bit package. -
zed over 7 yearsIf you are looking for the i386 version of the file, it is in
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXtst.so.6
