lapi.c:1:0: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set

Agre551on · 04-10-2012, 02:58 PM

I am receiving this error when attempting to install lua-5.1.4 from slackbuilds.org. I searched around for a while, found similar errors, but none pertaining to the exact error I am receiving. I am assuming, from what the error is insinuating, that this may be because I am trying to install lua on a 64 bit slackware, or am I missing dependencies maybe? Or am I way off here? Thanks ahead for any help.

posting the full error with command below:

FYI, slackbuilds.org offers 5.1.5

I would check if you have, by any chance, installed some x86_64 packages on a 32bit slack

Code:

ls /var/log/packages/*x86_64*

or are you using a 64bit kernel on a 32 bit installation? you can check with "uname -m".

Its a 64 bit kernel with a 64 bit installation im sure, as ive had zero problems with anything else besides installing the lua.

Code:

root@Agression:/home/brad/Downloads/lua# uname -m
x86_64

Going to try and see if the 5.1.5 gives me a different outcome, I will update in a bit. thanks for the quick response too!

so maybe it gets the ARCH variable wrong from your shell environment, because the variables in bold are set when ARCH=i486

I had a thought that maybe I had messed something up while repeatedly attempting to install lua in different ways (sbopkg, then slackbuild), which turns out to be true. I created another user account, installed from there flawlessly. Luckily for me, this is a pretty fresh slackware install and I can transfer all my files over to this new account and delete the old one.

However, I do agree that something had caused the lua build to detect the wrong architecture for some reason. (That right?)

In conclusion, its obviously not slackwares or lua's problem, I had done something wrong, user error, so rare

Thanks for the assistance here as well.

sorry, another root account?
or, you know you should become root with "su -", right (so that the root user gets his own environment)?

BTW, in these cases you can also try forcing the ARCH variable passing it to the script, like

Code:

ARCH=x86_64 ./lua.SlackBuild

check the environment with set

Code:

set | grep ARCH

Agre551on · 04-10-2012, 04:30 PM

No, another user account, the code I had posted was after I had used su. Sorry for the confusion there.

I have not deleted the problem account yet, and will give your suggestion a shot, and post the results, incase anyone else runs across this problem.

Thanks Again!

and not "su -", I bet it's this.

and I think you will find something settings ARCH=i486 in $PROBLEMATIC_USER_HOME/.bashrc, or .bash_profile, or .profile or any other file that is included or executed by these three.

Agre551on · 04-10-2012, 09:03 PM

Code:

Package lua-5.1.5-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz installed.

Yes! The problem was that I was using su and not su -, I had no idea how much of a difference that makes.

Thanks! you just saved my user account from death haha
