multilib - How do I know if it worked?

Hello. I am a new Slack user. I've been using it about a month. I've followed the guide at http://docs.slackware.com/slackware:..._support_tools to get mutilib into my system. I have executed the following commands:

Code:

542  SLACKVER=14.2

  543  mkdir multilib; cd multilib

  544  lftp -c "open http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/multilib/ ; mirror -c -e ${SLACKVER}"

  546  slackpkg search lftp

  547  slackpkg install lftp

  548  lftp -c "open http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/multilib/ ; mirror -c -e ${SLACKVER}"

  549  cd ${SLACKVER}

  550  upgradepkg --reinstall --install-new *.t?z

  551  upgradepkg --install-new slackware64-compat32/*-compat32/*.t?z

Now, how to I determine if the process worked?

I think you could try to install a pre-compiled 32bit package.
For example, I just installed steamclient on my multilib system and it seems to work fine.

I installed it and ran steam and it loaded a Steam user agreement, so I assume that it is working correctly?

Yes, go down to the end of the user agreement (I used the spacebar if I remember right), type 'y' and hit ENTER to accept. At this point you should see the program running :D

I got a Steam error: OPENGL GLX extension not supported by display.

This is probably related to your graphic driver. Could you provide some info about your configuration?

I don't know exactly what your asking for, as I installed this off a LiveUSB of Slackware64 and haven't changed anything hardware-wise. This is what I know:

Code:

Does this help?

Here's a q&d test ...

Alien Bob provides /etc/profile.d/32dev.sh which sets your environment to build 32-bit programs.

EDIT: more specifically, Alien Bob's multilib Package 'compat32-tools-3.7-noarch-1alien.tgz' provides the /etc/profile.d/32dev.sh script

Below is a Konsole session where I build and test Program /tmp/hello as a 32-bit ELF Program

Cut-n-Paste this test program into /tmp/hello.c using your favorite editor:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>



int main( )

{

  printf( "hello 32-bit world!\n" ) ;

  return( 0 ) ;

}

Then follow along on the session below.

-- kjh

Code:

# pounded lines are comments ... no need to type them :)

#

# optional:  don't mess with my native x86_64 environment ; run a new shell



sh



# source Alien Bob's 32-bit Dev Environment into my new sub-shell ( note the syntax is dot-space /etc/profile.d/32dev.sh )



. /etc/profile.d/32dev.sh



# note that your prompt has changed ... if so, you're all set to compile a 32-bit program



# my prompt now looks like this:  konrad@kjhlt6 (32bit):~$



# compile a 32-bit program



gcc -o /tmp/hello /tmp/hello.c



# what kind of file is /tmp/hello ?



file /tmp/hello



# output:  /tmp/hello: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2, not stripped



# run /tmp/hello



/tmp/hello



# output:  hello 32-bit world!



# exit out of the 32-bit subshell



exit



# your prompt should now return to normal.

If the file command is OK and /tmp/hello generates output, you're OK.

# for completeness, this is Alien Bob's /etc/profile.d/32dev.sh

# cat /etc/profile.d/32dev.sh

To kjhambrick, you're 32-bit test worked, thank you. I would still really like to know how to get rid of that GLX error though. Steam isn't the only thing it's affecting. I switched to Slackware because I want to learn to think in Slackware terms. So my first step I think would be to ask how a Slackware user would approach this problem. I've been told on other threads that I should not go outside of slackpkg, slapt-get, and SlackBuilds, so the answer must be somewhere within those systems.

I am not a gamer so I don't know steam from ice :)

Here is another test using Alien Bob's /etc/profile.d/32dev.sh and glxgears ...

Open two terminals in your favorite x session ...

In one terminal:

Code:

# start a new subshell



sh 



# source Alien Bob's /etc/profile.d/32dev.sh



. /etc/profile.d/32dev.sh



# run glxgears ... does it work ?  Mine does in 32-bit mode ( see below ).



glxgears



# after it's run a few seconds, press [Ctrl][C] to kill it.

While it's running, type in the other terminal:

Code:

lsof |grep glxgears

If you see /usr/lib/* instead of /usr/lib64/* in the lsof output, I believe your Multilib is good to go.

See below for lsof output on glxgears run natively as x86_64 vs 32-bit.

-- kjh
#
# this is native x86_64 glxgears lsof output ( note /lib64/ )
#

Code:

$ lsof |grep glxgears

Yes, I was referring to hardware and some system info.

Also look at the file(s) called /var/log/Xorg.n.log, where n is a number (i.e. Xorg.0.log). The lines starting with (EE) which represent errors could be a good starting point.

Open two terminals in your favorite x session ...

In one terminal:

Code:

# start a new subshell



sh 



# source Alien Bob's /etc/profile.d/32dev.sh



. /etc/profile.d/32dev.sh



# run glxgears ... does it work ?  Mine does in 32-bit mode ( see below ).



glxgears



# after it's run a few seconds, press [Ctrl][C] to kill it.

You don't need to use 32dev.sh prior to run the 32-bit version of softwares like glxgears which are stored in /usr/bin/32 :

Code:

$ ls /usr/bin/32

aoss                  esdmon                  glxheads                      libglade-convert            mysql_plugin              setfattr

aria_chk              esdplay                glxinfo                      libieee1284_test            mysql_secure_installation  setsid

<snip>

esddsp                glxdemo                ldapwhoami                    mysql_find_rows            scriptreplay

esdfilt              glxgears                libart2-config                mysql_fix_extensions        sdl-config

esdloop              glxgears_fbconfig      libgcrypt-config              mysql_install_db            setarch





$ file /usr/bin/32/glxgears

/usr/bin/32/glxgears: ELF 32-bit LSB  executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped



$ /usr/bin/32/glxgears

Running synchronized to the vertical refresh.  The framerate should be

approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.

304 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.778 FPS

301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.008 FPS

300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.999 FPS

...

about the OP issue, maybe the output of commands below could give us some clues :

Code:

$ glxinfo 



$ /usr/bin/32/glxinfo

Thanks SeB.

Good (glx) info :)

-- kjh

Code:

michael@caitlyn ~ $ sh

michael@caitlyn ~ $ glxgears

Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

Code:

root@caitlyn:~# grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log

        (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

What's the Slackware way for getting GLX? On my old distro, I would be headed into /usr/src/linux rebuilding the kernel. I don't think that's the Slack way though, so what is?
