Unable to load library icui18n

I'm trying to run Pan, but it dies with this message:

Unable to load library icui18n "Cannot load library icui18n: (icui18n: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)"

If I look for icui18n, I get this:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

jkh@darkstar:~$ locate icui18n
/usr/lib/libicui18n.so
/usr/lib/libicui18n.so.56
/usr/lib/libicui18n.so.56.1
/usr/lib64/libicui18n.so
/usr/lib64/libicui18n.so.60
/usr/lib64/libicui18n.so.60.1

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So, is something out of date?

A number of other programs complain about missing icui18n, but they run.

Are you sure that you have installed the latest package ?

I'm getting similar here on current_x64:

palemoon-27.6.1-x86_64-1alien

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib64/palemoon-27.6.1/libmozjs.so:

*****

libreoffice-5.4.3-x86_64-1alien

localc, lowriter

I'm running the most up-to-date slackware64-current, and I've just checked again for updates.

John.

No pan problem here on full slackware64-current

Many alien packages need rebuild, Eric knows it

Looking at this, it appears that you've accidentally installed the x86_64 version icu4c on a 32-bit machine. You need the i586 version. Install that with upgradepkg (which will also take care of removing the wrong package) and things should start working then.

Multilib same hire!

It's not that, it's compat32, and Eric is aware. Fun and games on the bleeding edge. (Where's the band-aid?)

akonadi also seems to complain on slackware64-current, I happened to notice, no multilib here

[CODE]bash-4.4$ akonaditest
Unable to load library icui18n "Cannot load library icui18n: (icui18n: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)"

xpdf, wpa_gui (whose tray icon does not display either, probably a svg issue) same message, but they run.
It looks qt-related, I might try rebuilding qt4 to see if that makes any difference.

Working on it now. Looks like a useless warning (Fedora patches it out).
