[SOLVED] error: target not found: lib32-sdl

Pacman can't seem to find "lib32-sdl" but it's there... http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort … =&limit=50

[dspider@arch ~]$ sudo pacman -S lib32-sdl
error: target not found: lib32-sdl
[dspider@arch ~]$ 

This morning Pacman asked to be updated before I could run a system-wide update. Maybe that had something to do with it ?

Solution: I'm running Arch i686 and "lib32-*" is for the x86_64 version.

Do you have [multilib] repo enabled?

Re: [SOLVED] error: target not found: lib32-sdl

Running the i686 version (still), even tho I recently switched to an AM3 platform...

Apparently it can't find lib32-openal either...

[dspider@arch ~]$ sudo pacman -S lib32-openal
error: target not found: lib32-openal
[dspider@arch ~]$

Never had an issue before. Wine or any other package installs fine.

Errr, I was asking about https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Of … ultilib.5D

I you're using 32-bit system, why do you want to install  lib32-openal ? Install http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/openal/ .

Re: [SOLVED] error: target not found: lib32-sdl

According to the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file I'm using:

http://mirror.archlinux.ro/archlinux/$repo/os/i686

Maybe I should try "http://mirror.archlinux.ro/archlinux/multilib/os/i686/" ?

On a side note, that file says "Generated on 2010-01-31". Holy crap, a year an half old install... And it runs beautifully in contrast to my 5 month old Windows XP which is barely used.

What do you get when you click the link? I get nothing, and it's correct because no such repo exists :-)
It you're running a 32-bit system, use i686 packages. lib32-* is for 64-bit systems that need to run some 32-bit stuff.

If you're talking about 18-month old mirrorlist, I suggest you get a new one http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ , because the one you have has some out-of-date mirrors.

Just to make sure: you did run 'pacman -Syu' before you started installing other packages, right?

Re: [SOLVED] error: target not found: lib32-sdl

Doesn't matter, the mirror is still the same. That file was probably generated during the install.

It's empty because as you said, lib32 is for the 64 bit version/branch of Arch and I'm running i686... I don't even know why they left it there (for multilib, I mean).

So anyway, I'm looking for a way to install "libSDL" and (I think), "libopenal". Those looked like my best bet. Maybe I was wrong...

'pacman -Syu sdl openal'

Re: [SOLVED] error: target not found: lib32-sdl

Hmmm... The error still persists... I'm trying to get Unreal Tournament 2004 to work. I'll post it in the appropriate section after I try a few other things.

I should mark it as SOLVED, I guess.

Thank you.

Re: [SOLVED] error: target not found: lib32-sdl

I don't know which version of UT2k4 you have, the retail one has an installer for Linux, so everything should go smoothly.
IIRC, you need http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … ibstdc++5/

You mentioned installing wine - is it for Unreal of some other game? UT2k4 has a native Linux version.
If you still can't get it to work, open another topic in the https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewforum.php?id=32 Multimedia and Games section of the forum.
