slackware current multilib problem

codeguy · 09-07-2015, 09:07 PM

I did a fresh install of current, as of today, on a new pc and I'm trying to get multilib setup.

PHP Code:



root@rogue:/etc/slackpkg# uname -a 
Linux rogue 4.1.6 #1 SMP Fri Aug 21 01:21:18 CDT 2015 x86_64 AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

I ran: /usr/doc/slackpkg+-1.5.0/setupmultilib.sh

And checked the config:

PHP Code:



PKGS_PRIORITY=( multilib: ) 
MIRRORPLUS['multilib']=http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/multilib/current/

Then, as per instructions, I ran:

slackpkg update gpg
slackpkg update
slackpkg upgrade gcc glibc

here, however, nothing happened.

PHP Code:



root@rogue:/etc/slackpkg# slackpkg upgrade gcc glibc 
 
Checking local integrity... DONE 
Looking for gcc glibc in package list. Please wait... DONE 
 
No packages match the pattern for upgrade. Try: 
 
    /usr/sbin/slackpkg install|reinstall

If I run:
slackpkg install multilib

it shows lots of multilib packages, no glibc or gcc (well gcc-java and gcc-gnat), but not gcc.

I'm guessing its not supposed to do that. I'm not sure if I missed something or multilib for current is broke. If so I thought I'd better report it.

I don't mind doing it manually, but will that break anything if I do?

Thanks all

And checked the config:

PHP Code:



PKGS_PRIORITY=( multilib: )

This does not work because "multilib:" is not a (valid) repository. Change this, by :

Code:

PKGS_PRIORITY=( multilib )

or

Code:

PKGS_PRIORITY=( multilib:.* )

and all should work as expected.

I use multilib, and install and update all the necessary packages by hand. I never had a problem.
I don't see the usefulness of slackpkg.

Thankyou for bug report.

I noticed that "setupmultilib.sh" had set you

Code:

PKGS_PRIORITY=( multilib: )

instead

Code:

PKGS_PRIORITY=( multilib )

I will correct the bug.

Thankyou.

Ditto.

Thanks phenixia2003 and zerouno, that was helpful.

I got multilib installed, then installed flashplayer-plugin, libtxc_dxtn, OpenAL and finally Steam.

But steam wont start:

Code:

$ steam
Couldn't find dpkg, please update steamdeps for your distribution.

I'm not sure how to find out whats wrong. I tried gdb the core dump, but:

Code:

$ gdb /home/andy/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam /tmp/dumps/crash_20150908190108_1.dmp
gdb: error while loading shared libraries: libguile-2.0.so.22: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After the first big update to current, I was able to install and run steam without problem.

Any hints?

Thanks again.

Baa, nevermind. I installed the 64-bit versions, but not the 32-bit.

The 'guile' package is not part of multilib repository.

You must retrieve the 32 bit from slackware repository then convert it with the command
convertpkg-compat32
then install the converted package

Also you can suggest to alienbob to include it in compat32 repository
