Debian 5 64 bit.

[Ernis456]

When I try to run I get this error :

./mta-server: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 

I tried to install libpcre with apt-get install libprce3 but it don't help.

Just above your topic is sticky:

How to get MTA 1.0.x working on Debian 64 bit

Maybe search before posting? Or at least take a short peek into stickies?

Yes, i know there is no word about libpcre, but if you will follow this tutorial - it will be working. libpcre.so.3 file is included in ia32-libs package. Google knows that too.

I installed

apt-get install ia32-libs 

but still getting error :

./mta-server: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If you are setting this up on dedi/VPS i suggest you to reinstall whole system (don't know what you have done before) - and then on clean system just follow step-by-step through WHOLE this tutorial until the end.

[Ernis456]

I did all steps, still doesn't work.

check /usr/lib - there should be libpcre.so.3 - try to copy it into mta folder

As I mentioned in the tutorial, you need to install any libraries into the 32 bit environment. A simple installation through apt-get won't suffice, since it will install this in your normal 64 bit environment using 64 bit lib files.

I didn't test this out, but you should be getting it from here:

http://packages.debian.org/de/lenny/libpcre3

Choose the i386 package!

Then do the "Installing additional libraries" step from the tutorial with it.

That should do it.

but he have 64 bit

[MaddDogg]

Yes, but the ia32 environments needs the 32 bit libraries.

But the strange thing is that he even has to do it. I already have the package installed within the env.

Not that he has installed an older version of ia32-libs ...

[dzek (varez)]

well, each dedi/vps hosting companies are using a bit different operating system images, bit customized.. one is pure-clean, one have something more, one is full of all libraries for every-day use

FIXED. I downloaded this : http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libpcre3
