I had mentioned earlier that I will summarize the needed 32 bit libraries for Topspin to play well in a 64 bit platform. This post is an attempt in that direction. I am referring to either RedHat Enterprise Linux or its "$free$" re-incarnation that is CentOS. For this reason, I am referring to rpms in this post.
But I suspect that this approach should in general be applicable to other popular Linux platforms such as Ubuntu or Mint. You have to pull in the equivalent packages with tools such as apt-get.
Needed RPMs for TS install to work correctly :
glibc.i686
glibc-devel.i686
libX11.i686 (this gets pulled in as a dependency if you install libX11-devel)
libX11-devel.i686
RPMs needed for proper Topspin functionality such as 'edlock' table display.
libXext-devel.i686
libXtst.i686 (gets pulled in as a dependency for the former)
RPMs for gui functionality such as pulse program display and 'nmrsim'
libXmu.i686
libXt.i686
As a data station, the above libraries have resulted in the expected Topspin behavior, thus far. I will update the post if I stumble upon any other problems and the possible solutions reached.
I will also mention the passing, the following tip. Although there are error log files under the $TOPSPINHOME/prog/curdir/$USER directory, errors related to the missing libraries above are not recorded in any of them. The Topspin 'hist' command is very handy and it gives the most elaborate capture of events as they occur. For instance, the failure of 'nmrsim' is recorded in the history along with the missing library names : libXmu.so.6 and libXt.so.6
Happy spinning !
UPDATE - 26 May 2016
Today I am trying to build Topspin 3.5 on a CentOS7 Virtual Machine running on my Fc23 box. I had to follow all the above, of course, but it still fell short of one rpm, which is :
libXft.i686
This provides the library module libXft.so.2 for the install to work correctly.
Please note that, this also installs the following dependencies automatically :
-------------------
expat.i686 0:2.1.0-8.el7 fontconfig.i686 0:2.10.95-7.el7 freetype.i686 0:2.4.11-11.el7 libXrender.i686 0:0.9.8-2.1.el7
-----------------------
UPDATE :
Installing libXmu.i686 automatically pulls the following as dependencies:
libXt
libXext
among other packages. Since the above two are essential for normal operation of nmrsim, I am highlighting only these.
