Maybe it has to do with 64 bit, I don't have any experience with that.
The problem was indeed to do with running your 32-bit executable in my
64-bit virtual machine.
$ file adl_workbench
adl_workbench: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386,
version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.4,
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
It uses shared libraries! My friend Google suggested that I should install
some 32-bit libraries with this command:
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
I was then able to run adl_workbench, but after a few seconds, instead of
seeing the user interface, I got a new error message:
error while loading shared libraries: libglitz.so.1: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
On ubuntuforums.org I found a handy utility called getlibs. I installed and
ran it:
$ getlibs adl_workbench
Matched library libglitz.so.1 ...
I am now able to run your build of adl_workbench! It looks very much the
same as it does on the Mac under X11, including a few bugs that don't occur
on Windows XP:
* Some of the widgets are not wide enough to display the text.
* The mouse pointer turns into a white box. I've already ascertained that
this is a bug in EiffelVision on GTK.
* The Viewer and Test tabs on the right are displayed horizontally. They are
supposed to be vertical. I think we should redesign this aspect of the user
interface; even on Windows it has paint problems under certain
configurations.
But functionally it appears to be ok. I was careful to omit the trailing
slash from the repository path
