I’m setting up a test install of linbpq on Linbuntu 22.04. This is just a test install to play with the config.

Since linbpq is a 32 bit app, you need to add i386 32bit library support:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update

./linbpq
./linbpq: error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

To fix, install:

$ sudo apt-get install libasound2

Next error

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

To fix this on I installed 32bit gcc:

$sudo apt-get install gcc:i386

At this point I was able to create a simple bpq32.cfg file to test telnet access, and I’m up an running:
