Hi there

I try to run 64 bit binaries on an IA32...
qemu provides a script called qemu-x86_64 which allows to run 64 bit software on 32 bit.
The first problem was that the (64 bit binary) searched for some 64 bit library in lib64 which i solved by:
"
mkdir lib64
cp library lib64
"

Now I have two problems:
my 64 bit binary searches for some other library (libpthread.so.0) and is trying to load it from /etc/ld.so.preload which originally doesn't exist on my OSes (SUSE 11.1 / Mandriva)
I tryed to make a /etc/ld.so.preload and to put paths in it so it can load. It didn't work.

ERROR: ld.so: object '/lib64/libpthread.so.0' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded: ignored.
.program: error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

the -strace option didn't give me more information than that libpthread.so.0 couldn't be preloaded from /etc/ld.so.preload .

Any suggestions?

Rgds

PS: with -strace:
