How run 32 application

Post by krchat » 2014/08/03 19:30:00

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

What about CentOS 7?

Basically, almost every package comes in two flavours: foo.x86_64 (64 bit) and foo.i686 (32 bit). You just install the ones you need in parallel. E.g, as a starter:

Code: Select all

$ yum install glibc.i686
Be aware that as always (RH/CentOS feature since at least version 6) some 32-bit packages are broken and clash with their 64-bit counterpart. No one tests this or seems to care. YMMV.

I don't know what packets were need, but I set:
binutils-x86_64-linux-gnu.x86_64
gcc-86_64-Linux-gnu.x86_64
LibGLU.so.1
Libxml2.so.2
libfreetype.so.6
libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0
These packets request my 32 application (viewer of secondlife.com) and all became work well.
