Hang on, for the sake of clarity, how are you installing your video card drivers? Are you using the Nvidia installer, or the slackbuild? If you're using the Nvidia installer, you want the 64-bit driver. It'll prompt you at the end of building if you want the 32-bit utilities (YES!)

If I understand your question correctly, then your assumption is incorrect. There are 32 bit libs required for the graphics card on a multi-lib system. That is why you need to (re)install the video driver after you make your system multi-lib. The installer is able to build just the 64bit version or a 64bit and 32bit version. Because the installer does this, there is no 32bit package you need to convert by running compat32.

here we go again if slackware users would just pull the nvidia driver and build it in runlevel 3 they would see . If slackware users of nvidia cards read the readme on the Slackbuilds nvidia build this would be simple.

Why is this directed at me? I always do video driver installs in runlevel 3...

I didn't assume any of that.

I assumed the conversion script did something extra, and I was asking if this is an isolated case where such an extra may be ignored.

Thank you nevertheless for trying help, apologies I didn't word my question clearly.

The conversion script is used to take any 32bit program/library from Slackware and make it into a multi-lib capable program/library that works along side the 64bit program (this allows you to have a 32bit and 64bit package installed without overwriting each other). These converted 32bit packages are needed by 32bit programs you may run (like Steam), although, most software for Linux is available in 64bit. The majority of programs/libraries that you may need converted is already provided by Eric (alien_bob) through his multi-lib repository that you should've downloaded and installed when you installed multi-lib. Occasionally, you may need to convert other 32bit dependencies, like OpenAL, but, in my use, it is not common.

I hate how I caused such an offtopic tangent. I asked initially since it seemed the op was confused with how multilib packages work. I still haven't embarked on the journey with any of my slackware installations myself, although the last piece of confusion was clarified after rereading aliens multilib readme and your last post basmadrigal.

I guess the first time I read it i just skimmed through it overlooking the details of:
I think it would be nice to have that hashed in this segment, underlining the alongside, since I accepted this as a need to use it all the time.

No was not directed at you forgive me.
I was just lazy and quoted. Sorry. The Readme file is the most over looked text. It should be Do_Not_Readme.
one this thread came to a point were it was asking should they convert the Nvidia package and that is what I was replying to
this

and again I really do not think at this point they understand what convert compat32 is. that is when you take a 32 bit package and use the convert32 script to repackage it so it is compatible with the 64 bit system.
again the script is open source and pretty much explains what it is doing.
