Install lib32-* on 64bit machine.

Hi is there an easier way to install all the lib32-* packages without having to go through all of them. i need lib32-* to run virtualbox 32 bit client. i could however pipe the pacman -Ss lib32 output to a textfile but then i wil have to clean up before i could use it and its alot of things to clean up and im not good with sed. Thanks.

Re: Install lib32-* on 64bit machine.

What exactly are you trying to do. What happens if you don't have these packages installed?

Re: Install lib32-* on 64bit machine.

Shouldn't the multilib repo be pulling the depends automatically?

Re: Install lib32-* on 64bit machine.

I don't even know which package MrPotato is trying to install. I'm not a VB guru, but all VB pacakges are in [community] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=virtualbox , no [multilib] in sight.

Re: Install lib32-* on 64bit machine.

Ooh, I totally forgot that vmware is a standalone installer. You'd have to install the dependencies manually, but are their really that many anyways? Why would you ever even need to use the 32-bit version on a 64-bit computer

OP said virtualbox, not vmware.

I have no idea why do you need all lib32 packages, but "pacman -Ssq lib32" will give you plain names of all lib32 packages, separated by newlines.

So this should install all lib32 things: "pacman -Ssq lib32 | pacman -S -"

Re: Install lib32-* on 64bit machine.

He doesn't need all of them, he only needs to substitute the ones he has installed and not e.g. lib32-wxgtk2.8 or lib32-nvidia-304xx-utils (if he's using e.g. Intel graphics card).

I would imagine it would cause conflicts, problems and a lot of headaches if he tried to installed all of them.

The first sentence of the OP is the source of confusion. I wondered the same thing when I read this yesterday (you want to install all of them but not go through all of them? Huh?), and figured it was probably miscommunication. Until MrPotato gets back with a reason why lib32* packages would be needed for VirtualBox, there's nothing anyone can really advise.
