New install on Raspberry Pi OS on ESXi Virtual Machine fails to install correctly

[theontimetechguy]

I found a fix for this issue after dealing with the same setup using the Raspberry desktop OS on an esxi VM.

if you run uname -r -m and dpkg --print-architecture you will most likely get 4.19.0-12-amd64 x86_64 and i386 as discussed in this article:

Pihole installer: /usr/bin/pihole-FTL No such file or directory

Dont need to lookup dependencies for the "cat" command. Its the library "ld-linux-x86-64.so.2", the 64 bits version, what the pi-hole-FTL binary wants. Could you post results for below ones ? uname -r -m dpkg --print-architecture dpkg --print-foreign-architectures dpkg -L libc6 | grep ld-linux sudo find / -name *ld-linux* apt-cache search ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 EDIT: Mind I altered the find command.

A solution was to install the libc6:amd64 package manually using apt-get here:

No access to admin page after PiHole installation

I have reinstalled Raspberry Pi deskop (Debian Stretch Linux for the Intel platform) from its DVD Image on an Intel based platform recognised as x86_64 (output of "uname -r") and i386 (output of "dpkg --print-architecture") architecture. Have updated the OS with the usual "sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get -y upgrade" commands and, right after, manually installed the libc6:amd64 package with the command "sudo apt install libc6:amd64". After all that, I fired the PiHole installation process w…

I ran sudo apt install libc6:amd64 and did the pihole install script using bash and it worked without any issue.
