Unable to install 32bit libs on 64bit Arch

stp002 · 2012-04-27 08:03:57

Hi everyone,
I have been trying to install 32bit packages on my 64bit Archlinux.But when ever I issue a command eg:Pacman -S lib32-glibc I get an error "Target not found".I have enabled the
[multi-lib] respository.I know that it shouldn't be a problem once you enable the respository.I must be missing out something here.I have searched for lib32 packages with the command "pacman -Qs lib32" but all in vain, there aren't lib32 libraries installed :-(.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Did you tried pacman -Syy and than pacman -S lib32-glibc?

See the wiki for more info... https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman

Yes , I updated my system today.I tried to install all the required 32libs "pacman -S gcc-multilib gcc-libs-multilib binutils-multilib libtool-multilib lib32-glibc" but i get the same message "target not found":gcc-multilib.

Please post your pacman.conf

Please note this pacman.conf file.

# PGP signature checking
# NOTE: None of this will work without running `pacman-key --init` first.
# The compiled in default is equivalent to the following line. This requires

#SigLevel = Optional TrustedOnly
# If you wish to check signatures but avoid local sign and trust issues, use

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

You need to uncomment the repo...

And then -Syy
