[solved] acroread: gtk-warnings

Hi,

I've changed from i686 to x86-64.

Everything works fine (for what I've seen since yesterday )except acroread.

I receive a lot of gtk-warnings. It seems that acroread can't manage the 64 bit libraries

(acroread:478): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libclearlooks.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

These warnings don't prevent acroread form starting but it looks very ugly because labels and icons are missing.

Is there a way to solve this?

Thanks

P.S.: Pacman told me I had to run nspluginwrapper. I obeyed this order but what exactly did this?

Try installing lib32-gtk-engines from AUR.

If you are wondering where that message comes from, it's in bin32-acroread's .install file.  This type of file contains functions that pacman runs before or after removing/upgrading/adding packages.

Thanks!

lib32-gtk-engines solved it.

I know where the message was from but don't know what the command has done ^^

Re: [solved] acroread: gtk-warnings

Sorry, I misunderstood your question!

All I can tell you is that nspluginwrapper will allow a 32-bit plugin to work in a 64-bit firefox.  After running nspluginwrapper, your ~/.mozilla/plugins directory will contain a file named something like nppdf.so.  I don't know if that file is a 32-to-64 bit conversion wrapper for the original nppdf.so, or what (I don't know the magic behind it).  Someone with more knowledge really should answer here

PS: Do you have [testing] enabled?  bin32-acroread was giving me some libX11 errors (concerning libxcb) when I tried it last week.  I don't have the error logs anymore, so I can't be more precise.  I think maybe a newer package in testing is breaking acroread, but I haven't really looked into it.

Thanks for the explanation.

No, I don't have testing enabled. The only error messages where caused by a missing lib that then came as a dependency of nspluginwrapper.
