 Chartdirectory/perl not working on aarch64-linux |

Hi!
I have not been able to get ChartDirector to work in freshly created virtual Ubuntu 20.04 where the host is Apple Macbook pro with M1 architecture. The error message when trying to run in ChartDirector/perldemo$ perl simplebar.pl
Can't load './../lib/perlchartdir530i64.so' for module perlchartdir530i64: ./../lib/perlchartdir530i64.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /home/www-apache/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.30.0/lib/5.30.0/aarch64-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 193.
at ../lib/perlchartdir.pm line 28.
...propagated at ../lib/perlchartdir.pm line 44.
Compilation failed in require at simplebar.pl line 7.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at simplebar.pl line 7.
I also tried to copy all files from ChartDirector/lib to ChartDirector/perldemo, the error message remains the same.
Command "perl -V" output is:

Hi Toni,
Your Perl is of type aarch64-linux (64-bit ARM Linux). It is not Linux (i386/i686) and not Linux (x86_64). You should download "ChartDirector for Perl for Linux (aarch64)". However, we have not uploaded it to our web site yet, so you should not find this release in our server. So you must be using some release that is not suitable for your operating system architecture.
To support your case, I have just updated our web site to include this release. Please download ChartDirector for Perl for Linux (aarch64) from our site and use this release.
I have just tested with a Ubuntu 20.04 on M1, and it works normally. For your reference, the following is what I tried - from creating the VM to executing simplebar.pl.
- Install Multipass (https://multipass.run/) if you have not already done so. This is used to create Ubuntu VM.
- multipass lanuch --name foo
(Downloads the latest Ubuntu and lanuches it as a VM)
- multipass exec foo -- bash
(Open a bash shell in the Linux VM)
- wget https://www.advsofteng.net/chartdir_perl_linux_arm64.tar.gz
(Download ChartDirector for Perl for Linux(aarch64)" from our web site
- tar xvfz chartdir_perl_linux_arm64.tar.gz
(Extract the files out)
- cd ChartDirector/perldemo
- ./simplebar.pl
(Run simplebar.pl)
- ls simplebar.*
(You should see the chart image simplebar.png.)
Hope this can help.
Regards
Peter Kwan |

Hello and thank you for the prompt answer!
I was able to get the charts working, but one new issue raised:
for some reason I can't get my license working with this new build. My original way to insert the code is in the script by using "perlchartdir::setLicenseCode(....)". With this new build now I have also tested adding "chartdir.lic" to /etc.
I still get those yellow bars saying "ChartDirector (unregistered)..." |

Hi Toni,
Please try:
print perlchartdir::setLicenseCode(....);
It will print out the result of setLicenseCode. If it does accept the license key, it will explains why.
Note that the aarch64 support is introduced in ChartDirector 7. If your license key was issued in or after July 2015, it will work on ChartDirector 7. If your license key is older, the setLicenseCode will explain that the license key is too old and display the maximum version of ChartDirector that it can apply.
The following is old upgrade policy:
https://www.advsofteng.com/purchase_upg.html
If you think your license key should work, please email it to me at pkwan@advsofteng.net. I will test it to see what is the cause of the issue.
