32-bit binary does not run on x86_64, ldd not a dynamic executable

cetinsert · 2009-09-02 13:49:35

Hi,

I switched from Ubuntu 8.10 x86_64 to arch linux x86_64 a short while ago and have an issue running 32-bit proprietary binary that dynamically links to some libraries.

ldd insists "not a dynamic executable"

How am I supposed to resolve the issue? Running this 32-bit binary using 64-bit Ubuntu was never an issue.

Best Regards,
Cetin Sert

Arch is not multi-lib, Ubuntu is.

The wiki has details about running 32-bit apps under Arch64.

Have a look here.

not a dynamic executable

if i create a chroot environment can 64-bit programs in our tool chain call the 32-bit binary using exactly the same ways they would do on a working multilib environment? btw vanilla ubuntu 9.04 64-bit has the same issue, so I'm a bit at a loss now hehe.

I'm new to archlinux and I'm not sure why this is necessary, but it seems you need to use ldd32 to trace dependencies for 32bit binaries. ldd32 is included with lib32-glibc.

doorknob60 · 2009-09-11 23:54:12

This is the best and cleanest way to use a chroot IMO, works great for me: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc … bit_system I use it for Wine, Skype, some binary games, and some other random stuff. I can start 32 bit programs by just typing 'schroot -p -- skype' for example.

CaptainHero · 2009-09-20 21:07:01

Im setting up a 32 Bit chroot at the moment for wine-w3fix.

Just being curious: What do you guys think would it take less disk usage to install i686 skype, googleearth ... or keep the bin32-* packages since some of them only use linked libraries and a clean i686 install of skype has huge dependencies like qt (which I already have as a x86_64 pkg)?

I partially answered the question myself but I'm not being sure.
