[ SOLVED ] need help with virtualbox and arch64bits

Hello to all.
I'm trying to use VirtualBox in archlinux64 but occurs following error message:

VirtualBox: error while loading shared libraries: libcap.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

Sorry if I'm posting the wrong way, I am a newbie in the forum.

if someone can help me, I appreciate it.

What virtualbox package are you using?  It sounds like you're using a 32-bit package, which is odd since virtualbox comes in x86_64 flavours.

I use virtualbox_bin from AUR without problems.

Which version of Virtualbox? Do you have libcap installed?

Yeah... sounds like you're using 32-bit VirtualBox... I'm guessing from the VirtualBox site, too?

Oh I think you are right

I add this in my pacman.conf to install it:

Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686

Now I install it from AUR and works fine!

thanks a lot!!

Love this linux distro and its comunity!
