[S0LVED] 32-Bit compatibility on a 64-bit system

rzrscm · 2013-05-05 01:05:59

I'm trying to figure out what packages I need so I won't have problems running 32-bit games and such. RIght now I'm trying to run Firestorm (Second Life client), and it won't start...It tells me this in the terminal.

You are running the Firestorm Viewer on a x86_64 platform.  The
most common problems when launching the Viewer (particularly
'bin/do-not-directly-run-firestorm-bin: not found' and 'error while
loading shared libraries') may be solved by installing your Linux
distribution's 32-bit compatibility packages.
For example, on Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linuxes you might run:
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk ia32-libs-kde 
ia32-libs-sdl

What packages do I need to solve this (I searched for ia32 and got nothing) and what packages am I going to need to install for general 32-bit compatibility?

We call our 32bit compatibility repo multilib. Check out pacman.conf. You can enable the repo by uncommenting the necessary lines.

Once you do that, I guess you would then have to figure out what exactly those packages in ubuntu would provide you with.

I have multilib enabled already...I know ia32 has something to do with the Intel processor...I have lib32-intel-dri installed, but that's the only Intel-related 32-bit library I've found so far.

Have you looked at the PKGBUILD in the AUR?

Well, took a look and installed the packages...And now it works. I downloaded the package from the official site since the AUR version is way out of date, so I didn't even think to try that. Thank you so much.

Cool. Please remeber to mark your thread as [Solved] by editing your first post and prepending it to the title.

One more thing...Anybody happen to know what I need to install to get media_plugin_webkit to work? I didn't have that problem on my old computer which was running Debian.

[edit] I think this is an issue with pulse...It doesn't appear to be being started and I can't start it manually...I guess I'll just look into that.
