Have you installed the 32-bit compatibility libraries? Anytime you manually install a library (and really, you should let the packaging system do this) you have to rerun ldconfig to update what the system thinks the libraries should be. Do you have, for instance, /usr/lib32 as one of the search paths in your /etc/ld.so.conf file? Realistically, the 32 bit program should have installed itself + the two shared libraries, probably pulling in the other 32-bit compatibility libraries as a dependency if they were not already installed for some other reason (running GoogleEarth, for instance), and should have updated the ld.so configuration automatically as part of the postinstall routine. If not, it might be a packaging bug. Error when loading shared libraries might mean that it couldn't find the library, or maybe you have a missing symbol. In the latter case, file a bug against the library package (is it installable separately?). -- thanks for letting me change the magnetic patterns on your hard disk. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
