Running Opera with lib 32 [SOLVED]

chippy · 2006-11-16 21:50:44

Where do I find a copy of Opera that works with the lib32 libs? I've tried using the PKGBUILD from arch cvs, and the static & dynamicly linked copies from the Opera website. I also poked around the mailing lists, boards, and the wiki. Did I miss something?

Install lib32-qt and extract the tar.gz-archive from opera.com somewhere into your home-dir. This should work out-of-the-box. This seems to be the easiest way to use flash on arch64.

Thanks! That worked. Also, after poking around a bit, I found that I messed up copying the PKGBUILD from arch cvs (Once I fixed that, everything worked splendidly). Oops.

This is MUCH easier than running Firefox (and far more stable). Does anyone have 32 bit MPlayer and MPlayer plug-in running with Opera this way?

Please did you do any particular thing to do before launching opera-static in Arch64 (with lib32-qt installed), like disabling/enabling some plugins or else ?
It segfaults in this location.

I need Opera not only to have flash etc under Arch64, but also 'cause this is my mail / ml client for years...

Installed lib32 from arch64 comunity repo
extracted static opera to ~/src/opera-9.02-20060919.1-static-qt.i386-en-434

Launching opera allways give a segfault, with or without preexisting ~/.opera folder
It kindof works as it asks me to preicse language file

echo $PATH as root or user did not show /opt/lib32 even after a reboot, so I added it with :
PATH=/opt/lib32:$PATH
but that didn't show up for the user (after closing session)
Added /opt/lib32 to /etc/profile, but still have a segfault.

Don't use Opera-static - it doesn't work. To get Opera to work:
1) Get lib32-qt (sounds like you already did that)
2) Get the opera PKGBUILD / opera.desktop from arch cvs ( cvs.archlinux.org , then poke around untill you find it. I think it's in extra/network, but don't quote me on that)
3) Change the dependancy in the PKGBUILD from qt to lib32-qt
4)makepkg it. Everything should work

Best of luck, I hope this helps

chippy > makepkg on opera-devel from the Gandalf/Cagnulein works fantastically
No more webmail ; my 4550 emails are back where I'm used them to be.

Did others also preceeded with PKGBUILD rather than static-sources ?

kozaki · 2006-12-04 09:34:13

Does it still work for you guys ?

:cry: broken again in this location.
opera can't start since last system upgrade. Same goes for opera-devel 20061117.6 build 494 & latest 20061201.6 build 505 : they both look for 32-bit libGL.so.1
$ opera

shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
/usr/lib/opera/9.10-20061201.6/opera: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

How do you guys
I know there are ref to "/usr/lib" in opera binary but still, they were there before and opera launched, so ... ?

kozaki · 2006-12-11 20:00:11

As I couldn't find anything related on the Net, any information about this issue would be very welcome!

opera-static builded and works great on new arch64 (2002-12-19 alpha ISO)

Stalwart · 2007-01-03 22:53:32

I run plain dynamically linked opera on arch64. The only problem is flash - i need 9th to get sound(oss is broken for my soundcard), but i can't run it

This works for me on Arch64 too, but only if run as root. If I try to run as user, I'm given the following errors. When run as root, I get the same ld.so warnings, but Opera launches without issue, so it must be the 'segmentation fault' part of these errors:

[eric@leslie opera-9.20-20070409.1-static-qt.i386-en-638]$ ./opera
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
./opera: line 325: 17178 Segmentation fault "${OPERA_BINARYDIR}opera" "$@"
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

Any idea how I can run Opera as user?
