Can't install 32 but packages

Hi all I;m having problems getting gcc-multilib installed.

Long story short, I was installing sml/nj on a 64bit system, it had unresolved deps (lib32-glibc) so I googled and found this - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103331, which told me I needed gcc-multilib, pacman -Ss didn't find it, so again, google, and found this - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch64_FAQ
It said I needed to add
[multilib]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

that was in the file already, so I uncommented both stable and testing, I ended up with this:
#[multilib-testing]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[multilib]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
I added the bold sections myself

and run pacman -Syu

But, pacman -Ss gcc-multilib still doesn't find anything.

What am I doing wrong?

I'm running on an Intel Nuc pc

You need to also uncomment the [multilib] line (and the [multilib-testing] if you're using [testing]).

Also, you don't need those SigLevel lines and I suggest you remove those two you added.

Also [ code ] tags.

That worked, thanks you.

code tags notes

In summary (for other people who may be hit by the same problem ....
Look at the links above, but in your /etc/pacman.conf, uncomment both the
Include= line and the [multilib] line
