Re: st: Running old Stata (8.0) on new Ubuntu
Dave,
since noone responded I throw in some 'programming half-knowledge':
"assert" is a piece of code you put in to catch exceptions that should
not happen. What it exactly stands for is only known to the
programmer...
You should contact Stata for support (if they offer it for old
versions) but my guess would be that there isn't a simple solution,
since the libraries Stata has been build against are so much older
than the ones used by the Ubuntu people (you might have more luck with
a stable Debian distribution but that is far from a 'simple'
solution....)
Best,
Daniel
Hello,
I happen to have an old license for Intercooled Stata 8 for Unix
which I
tried installing on a new Ubuntu 8.04 ("Hardy") workstation.
'stata' runs fine, but 'xstata' does not:
$ /usr/local/stata/xstata
xstata: dynamic-link.h:57: elf_get_dynamic_info: Assertion `! "bad
dynamic tag"' failed.
The installation is is statically-linked, rather than dynamic, because
there appeared to be a lot of library incompatibilities when I tried
the
dynamically-linked approach (which I tried first).
Can anyone help here? I'd prefer not to upgrade if there's a simple
solution to the problem.
Thanks,
Dave.
