system monitor won't start.

I am having a problem and I am not sure how I caused it or how I can fix it.

when I try to start system monitor I get this following error.

[jacko@kermit ~]$ gnome-system-monitor
gnome-system-monitor: error while loading shared libraries: libsigc-2.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
[jacko@kermit ~]$

what should I do to fix this problem? I am using arch 64, the only things I have installed that are 32 bit is skype and flash I believe.

I don't wanna break my other programs to get system monitor working either...

Re: system monitor won't start.

Is this on a new install? Or had the system monitor been working and broke after you installed something, like skype or flash?
Check your pacman log to see the last things you installed.

The Internet...? Is that thing still around?

Re: system monitor won't start.

This is a new install and yes I do believe it worked before I installed skype and flash, but those where the two things that I installed first on this new fresh install of arch.

this is also the first time I have used arch, so I am not saying that I couldn't have done something wrong myself.

How does one check the pacman logs?

edit: I think I found the problem, cairo is a dependency of gnome-system-monitor which is also a conflict of cairo-cleartype package which I installed the other day. I am assuming that when I uninstalled cairo I broke gnome-system-monitor.
