Unable to install lib32 group even with [multilib] enabled

DarksideEE7 · 2010-08-27 05:32:55

I just installed and set up a new system tonight and I'm beginning to configure catalyst, lib32-catalyst-utils, etc. and noticed that I can't install the entire lib32 group using:

sudo clyde -S lib32

or even

sudo clyde -S lib32-*

as it says in the wiki for multilib. Strangely I'm able to do so still with my laptop with Arch 64. I've even copied /etc/pacman.d, pacman.conf, and clyde.conf all to the new system and attempted to install it.

Furthermore I can't install lib32-gcc (as well as a bunch of other dependencies). I've cleared cache using -Scc on pacman and clyde both, and I've deleted /tmp/clyde-$USER_NAME
It seems like there is some underlying problem with my lib32 sync cache somewhere because I only fail with lib32 packages. I see package and it prompts to edit the PKGBUILD, but if I say no it goes to bash and says 'PKGBUILD doesn't exist'. If I try to edit it then it's completely blank.

I'm tired so I'm sure it's something that's slipped my mind, but anyone have any suggestions here? I really will hate to go through and install every package manually using makepkg.....

Thanks in advance.

we dropped all lib32 stuff from community which were in the lib32 group. maybe your laptop uses a mirror that wasn't synced recently.

second, don't use clyde -S lib32. i think that would pick builds from AUR which wasn't been fixed to complain with the actually schema from multilib repo.

Ok that makes sense. I forgot that I ran reflector for the latest mirrors.

Well I guess it's manual install time. I'm still not sure why I can't install the lib32 packages from the AUR manually though.

This is causing all sorts of problems. In order to build lib32-catalyst-utils I need lib32-libstdc++5. In order to build that I need lib32-gcc, which doesn't exist in the AUR anymore. :\

So unless someone has a suggestion, I'm pretty much dead in the water because of this multilib repo change. This sucks

you can adopt this lib32-libstdc++5 and follow the pattern on our packages from multilib to update it.

DarksideEE7 · 2010-08-27 08:25:26

Awesome, thanks. I somehow managed to get lib32-catalyst-utils installed without lib32-gcc. I'm a bit tired so I might have to do this tomorrow.

If you haven't done so already you must add

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

to your clyde.conf too.

And no, it won't try install them from AUR.

Yes, I did that. I think the problem was that a lot of the packages weren't ready in the multisim repo and the AUR didn't have them either. Either way it's working now.

All right I just want to revisit this thread momentarily. I'm running into some problems with my WINE programs, specifically Office 2007 and Starcraft2. Now I was able to resolve the problem with Office 2007. It was missing a package related to C libraries...can't remember which one.

However I can't seem to get Starcraft2 to finish updating because I don't have ie6. Now normally you can just install it without any problems, however when i try to use winetricks on my WINEPREFIX for sc2 it fails, saying 64 bit OSes aren't supported. This has never happened in the past because I always just install all of the lib32 group and be done with it.

Now I realize it isn't the best way, but I feel that we should have the option to install the entire multilib repo if we need to......maybe there is with pacman and I just don't know how.

Any ideas?
