Running Linux Mint latest stable version. much prefer deb package downloads. In any case I can't get your download to run. Would appreciate instructions on how to properly open a tar.gz

   Hi Robert,

   Thanks for your message. You can extract and run Geekbench for Linux by issuing the following commands:

   tar -zxvf Geekbench21-Linux.tar.gz
   cd dist/Geekbench21-Linux/
   ./geekbench_x86_32
   

   We'll investigate adding DEB packages as a download option.

   Thanks,
   John

   On Ubuntu 11.04:

   cd ~/Downloads/dist/Geekbench21-Linux
   ./geekbench_x86_32 : No such file or directory

   Hi Andrew,

   You need to install the 32-bit compatibility libraries if you want to run the 32-bit version of Geekbench on the 64-bit version of Ubuntu:

   sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
   

   Cheers,
   John

   Can't figure how to open a test file after saving it, I can open it as text but I would like to see it in the initial graphic form that I get right after running the test.

   Thanks,

   André

   Hi Andre,

   You can view results using the following command line:

   ./geekbench_x86_32 -o result.geekbench
   

   where result.geekbench is the name of the test file you want to view.

   Cheers,
   John

   I am actually having the same problem that this topic was founded. I am running a 64 bit version of Ubuntu Linux 11.04. I ran "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs" through and got "Reading package lists... Done
   Building dependency tree
   Reading state information... Done
   ia32-libs is already the newest version.
   The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
   linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic linux-headers-2.6.38-8 Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
   0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
   "

   Even trying going through package manager I get no results for said lib.

   Further instructions would be great.

   Nathan.

   Hi Nathan,

   You only need ia32-libs to run 32-bit Geekbench on 64-bit Ubuntu (I've verified this on a clean install of Ubuntu 11.04). What output are you seeing when you try and run Geekbench?

   Thanks,
   John
