Installing Eagle 7 on Debian Jessie

Eagle on Jessie

I use Eagle 7.4 in a Jessie chroot (on a Wheezy system).

In your Jessie, install the following things:

sudo apt-get install libx11-6 libxrender1 libxrandr2 libxcursor1 libfreetype6 \
  libfontconfig1 libxext6 libxi6 libssl1.0.0 libcups2 libx11-xcb1

Then run the Eagle 7.4 installer:

bash eagle-lin64-7.4.0.run

I install into my home directory, so launch eagle via:

~/eagle-7.4.0/bin/eagle

Voila!

Alternately...

Just install the 32 bit version of Eagle on Wheezy, where you'll need all the above mentioned libraries in their i386 version installed, but if you enable multi-arch and add the i386 distribution to your dpkg, everything just works.
