gnome-about not found

[Angel Guzman Maeso]

I get this output pressing in about tab in Ubuntu Saucy:

$ hardinfo
sh: 1: /lib/libc.so.6: not found
sh: 1: gnome-about: not found

The package gnome-about is not found in ubuntu repositories (I suspect since precise)

Hi,

I am using Ubuntu 13.04 64 bit.
It also gives the same error, but it works just fine.

$ hardinfo
sh: 1: /lib/libc.so.6: not found
sh: 1: gnome-about: not found
sh: 0: -c requires an argument
sh: 0: -c requires an argument

FYI. the libc.so.6 library located at /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

Thanks
Arun

Here is the patch to fix the above bugs

$ cat oc.h.patch
54d53
< char libcpath;
57,63c56
< libcpath = system("arch=$(uname -p) && echo /lib/$arch-linux-gnu/libc.so.6");
< if (!libc){
<
< libc = popen(libcpath, "r");
<
< }
< else goto err;
---
> if (!libc) goto err;

Still present with trusty (14.04) (same versión package at this moment 0.5.1-1.2ubuntu1)

@yleduc where is the fix commited?

Still an issue in 16.04.3. In fact, it's segfaulting now. Unknown if this is the same or a new, unrelated issue.
