ePSXe on Arch64 Problems

Hello! I'm new to this forum and before I state my problem, I would like to say that arch linux is a really great distro.

Anyways, on to my problem. I decided to use arch 64 bit because I have a 64 bit machine. I got everything to work nicely except for one thing. As the title says, I have problems getting epsxe to work on Arch64.

I followed the instructions on how to install it found in:
http://terror.snm-hgkz.ch/gaming/linux/epsxe_howto/
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Eps … n_emulator

At both tries, I get the following error when trying to run epsxe:
./epsxe: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

Can anyone help me on this? Thank you!

Re: ePSXe on Arch64 Problems

I would guess the precompiled binary packages you downloaded are not 64-bit binaries. Does the default Arch64 kernel have support for non-x84 binaries built by default? If not, you may have to recompile the kernel with proper support.

Also, it is possible that 32-bit libs are required for this app to run. These are not provided offically by Arch64 and so you will have to seek out these libs in the forums or build them yourself.

Thank you for the reply.

Where would I be able to get these 32-bit libs, or the source for them?
Thanks again!

I think that the problem is I need to get a 32 bit lib of gtk which doesn't exist...

Now, the error I get is:
./epsxe: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

Re: ePSXe on Arch64 Problems

That means you don't have 32bit libgtk-1.2.so.0

Re: ePSXe on Arch64 Problems

Yea, I had a feeling it was that because when I looked at the dependencies, it said gtk. So I figured it needed the gtk-1 libraries. I have not found a pkgbuild for lib32-gtk yet so I might make one myself. I have plenty of time on my hands
