when login , the cdesktopenv stucks

I want to try CDE, a classic desktop environment. Thanks for guys who keep it alive.

After the base system is installed(in vmware),I install cdesktopenv from AUR:
    yaourt -S cdestopenv

Every option was  kept as default.
Then I do this:

systemctl enable rpcbing
systemctl enable dtlogin
systemctl disable firewall

and reboot the os,the dtlogin is loaded successfully ,but after input the username and passwd, it stucked, there is only a blue background  along with some white characters about CDE ,such like this:
Starting the common Desktop Enviornments

Common Desktop Environment Version 2.2.4
....
...
the GNU LGPL,please see the file COPYING for more details.

After a few minutes,there only a hourglass left on the screen,and the background became dark,so I could not go into the desktop,it is stucked here.

I searched for answers :
  http://unix.ittoolbox.com/groups/techni … ent-600018
  https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/d … /315d16e4/
  http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=725619
 

Maybe this problem is caused by /etc/hosts ,  so I modifed /etc/hosts, but  it did't work.

Don't know if you're already aware of this but I'll point it out anyway:

CDE is only supported on 32-bit systems, 64-bit support is still experimental.

OMG ! I did not notice that!
But when I boot from Arch iso ,there only X64,no more x86.
Dose arch has abandon x86 ?

Thanks you for your answer.

Please use code tags when pasting to the boards: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … s_and_code

And you need to read a lot more, and more carefully if you are going to use Arch: https://www.archlinux.org/news/phasing- … 6-support/
