Hi. Recently I've build Lightworks 12.0.2-1 from AUR, but when i want to start it i got this error:

/usr/bin/lightworks: line 35: /usr/lib/lightworks/spawn: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

How to fix it?

Re: Lightworks 12.0.2-1. Exec format error

You cannot run a 64 bit executable on a 32 bit system ( As indicated by i686  in uname output)
Either install the 64 bit version of lightworks, or update your system to 64 bits (assuming you have a 64 bit processor)

Edit:  The AUR PKGBUILD specifies an architecture of :

arch=('x86_64')

How did you manage to install it?
[Moderator mode]  Move to AUR Issues, Discussion and PKGBUILD requests.

I've added i686 arch to PKGBUILD, and it installed fine. Is there any way of installing 64 bit lightworks on 32 bit arch? Or to migrate to 64 bit without reinstalling system?

Ok. So I'll just install 64 bit system. Thank's for your help
