SDK 2.0.0.11 install problems

[gerryc]

I have been using an older version of the SDK for a few years now without any issues.
The change from -02R to -04R means that I need the new SDK because of the new memory chips.
I have downloaded the 2.0.0.11 version of the SDK and am having trouble getting it to install.
It keeps failing when trying to install 'libtasn1-3-dev' by telling me that there is no installation candidate.
After I get this message the installation aborts.
My system is Ubuntu Xenial:

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04

I have searched the web for hours but cannot find a solution to this.
Has anyone else had similar problems, and if so, what solution worked for you?

Any ideas most gratefully received.

The SDK support covers to Ubuntu 14. Try this on 16 before the installation:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libncurses.so /usr/lib/libncurses.so
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.so /usr/lib/libz.so

Hi garry0427,

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately this did not help.
I have also tried modifying the install script to use libtasn1-6-dev instead of libtasn1-3-dev.
The install now proceeds to the point of building the host tools and then bombs out with the message:
FATAL ERROR: Could not build host tools.

This is a truly frustrating exercise .
I cannot believe that any recently built SDK's do not support the later distros, and indeed 64bit environments.
It looks like I have no choice but to run up and older Ubuntu 14 system. A real PITA.

OK, a follow up on my previous exploits in installing the SDK.

Ran up a new ubuntu 14.04 32bit VM and downloaded the 2.0.0.11 SDK image again.

When installing this time I got as far as building the host tools until I hit the following bug:
(.install.log)
install: cannot stat

My previous post got tuncated :-(

When installing this time I got as far as building the host tools until I hit the following bug:
(.install.log)
install: cannot stat 'cmake-2.8.0/bin/ccmake': No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [sysroot] Error 1
make: *** [cmake] Error 2

It looks like the install script has a typo:
The line 'cmake-2.8.0/bin/ccmake' should read 'cmake-2.8.0/bin/cmake'

I created a copy of the file cmake under the name ccmake, after which the tool build completed and the whole install seemed to go smoothly.

I hope this info helps any others out there who come across this problem themselves.
