Hi,
I've changed from i686 to x86-64.
Everything works fine (for what I've seen since yesterday )except acroread.
I receive a lot of gtk-warnings. It seems that acroread can't manage the 64 bit libraries
(acroread:478): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libclearlooks.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
These warnings don't prevent acroread form starting but it looks very ugly because labels and icons are missing.
Is there a way to solve this?
Thanks
P.S.: Pacman told me I had to run nspluginwrapper. I obeyed this order but what exactly did this?

Try installing lib32-gtk-engines from AUR.

If you are wondering where that message comes from, it's in bin32-acroread's .install file. This type of file contains functions that pacman runs before or after removing/upgrading/adding packages.

Thanks!
lib32-gtk-engines solved it.
I know where the message was from but don't know what the command has done ^^

Sorry, I misunderstood your question!
All I can tell you is that nspluginwrapper will allow a 32-bit plugin to work in a 64-bit firefox. After running nspluginwrapper, your ~/.mozilla/plugins directory will contain a file named something like nppdf.so. I don't know if that file is a 32-to-64 bit conversion wrapper for the original nppdf.so, or what (I don't know the magic behind it). Someone with more knowledge really should answer here
PS: Do you have [testing] enabled? bin32-acroread was giving me some libX11 errors (concerning libxcb) when I tried it last week. I don't have the error logs anymore, so I can't be more precise. I think maybe a newer package in testing is breaking acroread, but I haven't really looked into it.

Thanks for the explanation.
No, I don't have testing enabled. The only error messages where caused by a missing lib that then came as a dependency of nspluginwrapper.
