Ian_Fyffe_564 : 04/10/05 01:18 AM : Incident created -   While trying to get some programs running from source I keep getting errors involving a lack of 32bit databases. For example libX11.so.6. I have googled for the answer, but it seems to me that mandriva should have an rpm with the needed 32bit Xorg libs? If such an rpm doesn't exist, how would I safely add required 32bit libs? (also I cant figure out how to search other peoples questions in case someone asked this.. is this possible?!) Thanks, Ian

Most lib64s etc should be seen as providing the 'lib' (x86) version, so it may also be a case of you not having the proper lib64-devel package installed. ------------ Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
Ian_Fyffe_564 : 21/11/05 07:51 PM : More info provided -   nope, that wasn't working for me for some reason. I ended up adding the 32bit side to urpmi and installing the things that way, as suggested at another forum. I'm sorry I never closed this, but I thought the site was just dead.
