32-bit binaries on 64-bit linux?
 

Why is it that I can run 32-bit binaries on my 64-bit fedora core 4 before I install the drivers (from nvidia.com) for my graphics card but not afterwards?
I can't run Open office, even!
I want to know if there's some way of getting past this problem. I want to have good performance AND be able to run programs.
I tried running a blender binary for 32-bit before installing the drivers and it worked fine, but now I get this error message:
Any help would be great.

Did I post it at the wrong place or is it just that nobody knows?

It's Thanksgiving weekend at least in the U.S., pal... *Burp!* :rolleyes: We were all taking the day off, watching football for no particular reason, and groaning at our indulgences before finding room for just one more slice of pumpkin pie. :cool:

The first thing I'd do is to execute /sbin/ldconfig as root. This is to make sure that the loader's cache is up-to-date and that the right libraries are being loaded.

Please explain in more detail exactly what you did. What files in, say, /lib, /usr/lib, and any other libraries listed in /etc/ld.so.conf have been updated?

The segmentation fault specifically mentions a library for the Python language (I think...). Might be good to search for that particular file-name. If the file, and all libraries near to it, are still old, then there is a better chance that the message is spurious, e.g. caused by a loader-cache problem or somesuch. The fact that it seems to be affecting several apps at once (check the command-line: which libraries do they complain about?) suggests either a global problem, like the cache, or the presence of what should be a very distinct "common thread."

Ok, I'm from sweden so I didn't know that.

Anyway, I got the problem solved. But thanks anyway!
