Executable problems
I'm having some problems with stuff I install via pacman... It seems some things like working, others don't...
Example being I got the 915resolution package from ftp.archlinux.org/community/os/i686 and ran 'pacman -A 915resolution-0.5.2-2.pkg.tar.gz' which installed 915resolution... However, when I run 915resolution -l (or /usr/sbin/915resolution -l) I get this error: "-bash: /usr/sbin/915resolution: No such file or directory"... I had this problem with ipw3945 too (I ended up installing ipw3945 manually as archlinux package is broken anyway...). How do I sort this problem out? I have had it running on a previous install perfectly...
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, btw... My laptop is a 64-bit Gateway MX6639B and I've never had the problem on my 32-bit systems...
Many Thanks!

Re: Executable problems
The packages at ftp.archlinux.org/community/os/i686 are for i686. They won't work on Arch64. Check ftp.archlinux.org/community/os/x86_64 to see if there's a x86_64 package. If not, you'll need to get the PKGBUILD and built the package.
There seems to be a x86_64 package for ipw3945. Make sure you are using the x86_64 repos in your pacman.conf

Re: Executable problems
The only repos listed are x86_64 ones... The ipw3945 doesn't like working, since my kernel is 2.6.17-ARCH and it installs the module to /lib/modules/2.6.19-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw3945 (using insmod returns and "invalid symbol" error), hence building manually... Works alright now... Just the 915resolution one (which isn't in any x86_64 repo it seems :S)
Many Thanks

Re: Executable problems
ipw3945 wasn't working because, like all modules in the repos, it was built for the latest kernel in the repo. The solution is to update your kernel or to rebuild the package for your kernel. That's why manually building it fixed it.
