running VueScan on x86_64

Hi!

I've a bigger task of scanning lot of old slides and we ordered Epson Perfection V700 scanner.

While waiting for scanner to arrive I wanted to check how isVueScan's interface and tried the pkgbuild from AUR.

However, running the application under x86_64 fails:

./vuescan: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

and there is no lib32-libgtk-x11 pkg in AUR

The VueScan web site says that application is "Built with Ubuntu 8.10 - 32-bit compatibility libraries needed for 64-bit Linux" but Arch is missing some libs 

Any idea how to make it work?

Sincerely,
Gour

You could look at the PKGBUILDs for the lib32 packages and just adopt one for gtx.

Hmm, dunno why, but yaourt did not show me any of lib32 libs from the 'lib32' group which contains everything I need

Searchin on AUR's web site does not show any of lib32* from community

So, I had to run 'yaourt -Sy lib32' and this installed everything

VueScan works nicely now

Sincerely,
Gour

Edit: I created new pkgbuild named bin32-vuescan which provides VueScan for x86_64 arch
