A quick reference post for installing Eagle 7 and its dependencies on Ubuntu 14.04 64 bits.

Download Eagle: 

1
$ wget http://web.cadsoft.de/ftp/eagle/program/7.2/eagle-lin-7.2.0.run

Try to run it:

$ sh eagle-lin-7.2.0.run
Ensure the following 32 bit libraries are available:
        libXrender.so.1 => not found
        libXrandr.so.2 => not found
        libXcursor.so.1 => not found
        libfreetype.so.6 => not found
        libfontconfig.so.1 => not found
        libXext.so.6 => not found
        libX11.so.6 => not found
        libXi.so.6 => not found
        libssl.so.1.0.0 => not found
        libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => not found
        libz.so.1 => not found

/tmp/eagle-setup.4996/eagle-7.2.0/bin/eagle: error while loading shared libraries: libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Well, some 32 bits libraries are missing! Let’s install them: 

1
$ apt-get install libxrender1:i386 libxrandr2:i386 libxcursor1:i386 libfontconfig:i386 libxi6:i386 libssl1.0.0:i386 libcrypto++9:i386

libXext comes with libXrandr, libX11 comes with libXrender, libz comes with libfreetype, libfreetype comes with libfontconfig.

Now, run the install 

1
$ sh eagle-lin-7.2.0.run

Enjoy!
