This would indicate you need 32-bit specific libraries and 32-bit |
10 |
execution support in your kernel. |
11 |
|
12 |
1) Ensure that you have 32-bit support turned on in your kernel (under |
13 |
Executable file formats / Emulations, ensure that the IE32 Emulation |
14 |
option is compiled in, or alternatively, compiled as a module and the |
15 |
module loaded via modprobe). |
16 |
|
17 |
2) Ensure the various app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-* packages have been |
18 |
merged. You won't need all of them, but merging them all is likely easier |
19 |
that figuring out which ones you need and which you don't. (These are |
20 |
32-bit binary compatibility libs, so no compiling required -- merges |
21 |
should go pretty fast.) |
22 |
|
23 |
3) Ensure that you aren't running a no-multilib subprofile, and that gcc, |
24 |
glibc, and the like, have been compiled with 32-bit support. (You should |
25 |
have /usr/lib32/libc.so and |
26 |
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/<version>/32/libstdc++.so, among others) |
27 |
|
28 |
For many 32-bit apps, that should do it. It's possible you'll still need |
29 |
certain 32-bit libs that aren't included in the above compatibility stuff. |
30 |
You can run ldd <binary.file> to find out what libraries it'll try to load |
31 |
and see if any are missing. |
