[Solved] Second Life in Arch64

Hello All,

I've been trying to install second life in Arch 64, but I haven't had any luck. I realize that there's no 64-bit version (according to the SecondLife website), so I've been trying to get things working using 32-bit compatibility, but I don't want to go the chroot method.

So far I've tried the following:
1. Downloading the official binary and hoping it works
2. Installing secondlife-bin from the AUR
In either case, I get the following error:

bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
*** Bad shutdown. ***

You are running the Second Life Viewer on a x86_64 platform.  The
most common problems when launching the Viewer (particularly
'bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin: not found' and 'error while
loading shared libraries') may be solved by installing your Linux
distribution's 32-bit compatibility packages.
For example, on Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linuxes you might run:
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk ia32-libs-kde ia32-libs-sdl

3. Installing omvviewer from the AUR
The installation process fails saying the following:

==> ERROR: Integrity checks are missing.
Error: Makepkg was unable to build omvviewer package.

I have the entire lib32 group installed; is there any way to make this work without trying the chroot compatibility method?

Thanks!

For (2) : Try installing aur/lib32-gdk-pixbuf.
For (3) : Fix the md5sums with makepkg -g.

For (2):
After installing the package, I get the same error

For (3):
From what folder do I run that command from? I'm still a little bit new to Arch

For (3): You extract the tarball downloaded from AUR, you enter into it. The run makepkg -g. It will generate the correct md5sums. Remove the md5um array from the PKGBUILD, replace it with the one generated by makepkg -g, and then run makepkg.

For (2) : Try installing aur/lib32-gdk-pixbuf.

libgdk-x11 is owned by gtk2, so:

pacman -S lib32-gtk2

Progress! I get a new error now:

bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Thoughts?

(Also, thanks flamelab and skottish for your help so far!)

secondlife is compiled against libjpeg 6.2 and Arch is at libjpeg 7.0. Maybe this will work:

Beautiful! That does it. Thank you so much! I couldn't seem to find a complete thread on how to get things working for second life in Arch64, but that does it.

Thank you so much skottish and flamelab!
