[Canon LBP3100B Printer] Is it still need to install lib32-* packages?

rea · 2014-03-21 06:35:23

This instruction says: "Additional requirements on Arch64: lib32-libcups lib32-heimdal lib32-libxml2 lib32-popt"

Is it up to date? should I install those packages on my 64 bit machine?

you might want to try out https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/capt-src/ , it builds the capt driver from source.

TL;DR : not sure about uptodate, but even with latest version of driver you do need lib32-* libraries.

canon appears to reuse code a lot, and if 32-bit code works on both i686 and x86_64 , they use that code.
Basically I've yet to see a pure 64-bit printer driver from canon.

the packages mentioned are in arch [multilib] repo, which holds 32-bit code compiled to work in a x86_64 environment.
some other applications that need multilib are skype and wine.

It's complied successfully; Does it mean lib32-* libraries have been existed on my system?
How can I be sure pre-required `lib32-* libraries` are installed on mine?

If you built the capt-src from aur, makepkg/yaourt/cower etc take care of that.
If you used the manual install instructions from the link in your first post, you'll have to verify that yourself.

Check the wiki on pacman, here are some simple examples :

pacman -Qs lib32 will list all installed packages that have lib32 in their name.

with pacman -Qi somepackagename you can get detailed info about a single package IF it's installed..

So now check that the lib32- required packages for capt-src are in the list you posted above. Unless I missed them, at least one is missing. Also, as I mentioned in your other thread, your machine seems to be badly out of date based on your "uname -a" results.
