Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I'm trying to run EPSXE under Slackware 13.0 64bit, and it complains that it can't find libgtk-1.2.so.0
I have the 64bit version in /usr/lib64/, but not the 32bit version. Apparently, libgtk-1.2.so.0 is part of libgtk1.2, which is some library that GIMP uses. Unfortunately, I don't actually know where I can find a copy of 32bit libgtk1.2. Googling it gives me a few RPM files and a lot of questions from Ubuntu, the answers of which all involve using apt-get.
Is there some repository online that I should be made aware of?
Yep, I'd already installed those. And I've converted all of the packages under 'a', 'ap', 'd', 'l', 'n', and 'x' in the 32bit Slack directory tree and installed those as well.
In fact, I'm rather confused now, because I see the packages I want in 'l', but I've already gone through and installed them!
Okay, well I grabbed the 64bit gtk+-1.2.10 off the Slackware DVD, ran the conversion tools provided by Alien Bob to get gtk+-compat32-1.2.10, and installed it via installpkg.
I also ran ldconfig.
EPSXE is still giving me a "can't find libgtk-1.2.so.0" error, and sure enough, the only copy of libgtk-1.2.so.0 is the 64bit version in /lib64/
You don't run convertpkg-compat32 on the 64-bit package. You run it on the 32-bit package.
So, try this:
if you have the 32-bit slackware CD, copy off the gtk 1.2 package somewhere. Otherwise, ftp it from a Slackware mirror. cd to that directory, then run convertpkg-compat32 -i <pkg_name>. The script should create a compat32 package in your /tmp directory. Install that with installpkg. Then try your application.
You don't run convertpkg-compat32 on the 64-bit package. You run it on the 32-bit package.
After doing this on all of the other libraries, you'd think I'd have caught this. My only excuse is that I was trying to do this at 4 in the morning. Thanks.
