Problem installing gcc-multilib

Hi all,

I am trying to install lib32-jpeg7 from AUR but I am getting
an error that the system needs gcc-multilib.

I then go to /etc/pacman.conf and add the following lines:

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

I then do pacman -Syy
and that's what I get back

error: failed retrieving file 'multilib.db' from ftp.archlinux.org : File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)

What should I do?

Thanks in advance

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

multilib is for 64-bit systems.

Why do you need lib32-jpeg7? Try https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33791

Re: Problem installing gcc-multilib

I've downloaded the demo of sunblast
http://www.sunblastthegame.com/download.php

After I untar it on to my home folder
it says this:

[konos@archBox sunblast_demo_linux32]$ ./sunblastdemo 
./sunblastdemo: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I googled the library and found that it belongs to the lib32-libjpeg package which I tried to download with yaourt.
Yaourt then complained that it needs gcc-multilib to build it and cancelled the operation!

So.. I figured out that I have to manually install gcc-multilib first and then lib32-libjpeg with yaourt in order to make it work..!

P.S. @Karol: I 've already installed the package you are suggesting
