HC installation error: while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

Question: Unable to install HC Linux due to error.

 "./lib/installer: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

 

Solution:
This error appears because HC linux installer could not find the file libz.so.1 in lib folder of HC Linux. This issue can be resolved by creating the alias of libz.so.x.x file with name of libz.so.1 .

Use the following command to create alias:

ln -s /hcnix/lib/libz.so.x.x       /hcnix/lib/libz.so.1

Above command will create a libz.so.1 file in lib folder of HCnix.

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 
or
sudo apt-get -f install libc6-i386
