How do you install the 32-bit shared libraries on PCLinuxOS x64 for the following libraries:

glibc
libstdc++
libXinerama
fontconfig (if needed)
libXft
libpng
libjpeg
ncurses

??

Thanks!

There is a 32bits version of PCLinuxOS :
Uplos http://www.liberainformatica.it/install-uplos/

You can try adding a new line to /etc/apt/sources.list ...
Please ask here for more information :

Hi,

I don't want the 32bit version of PCLinuxOS, I need the 32bit shared libraries so I can run certain 32bit software on the x64 OS. Every other distro I've ever used has this option, it must exist for this one, just need the package names.

I couldn't sign up for those forums anyway. The challenge question didn't make since, didn't like any answer, the one that did, it didn't take the answer: Debra.

Ref. post #1 : glibc, libstdc++6

glibc, 32bit files, see /lib/.
libstdc++6, 32bit files, see /usr/lib/.
.... I.e. the 32bit libraries are included in the default 64bit packages.


Ref. post #2, Uplos :
Google > uplos > https://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/uplos/
https://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/uplos/32bit/

updates https://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/.../RPMS.updates/
libxinerama, libxft2, libfontconfig1, libjpeg8, libjpeg62, libpng3, libncurses5, libncursesw5.

Dependencies for libxinerama: libxcb, libx11_6 ...... etc. etc. .......
! But : libxcb -1.10 or -1.12 cannot even be installed because of conflicts.
Tested with one of my spare PCLinuxOS installs.

Sorry, no solution so far.
( A similar OS is Fedora : No issues installing the 32bit libraries.)

An idea : Please ask in a pclos Forum.
