Hi, all, I have a Perl based application tool set that uses DBD::Oracle libraries from the Oracle 11 instant client package. The DBD was compiled in a 32 bit environment.
Now there's a user who wants to run it on a 64 bit system, which at least requires the installation of the 'ia32-libs' package. However, 'ia32-libs' does not include a 32 bit version of libaio.so.1, which is required by the Oracle 11 libraries. I could supply a 32 bit copy of it with the Oracle 11 libraries, but it seems to me there should be a better solution, based on standard package management tools. There was some discussion for improving 32 bit library support in 64 bit architectures in June 2010 and thereabout (David Kalnischkies is perhaps lead developer?), but based on what I found, this may still be a future feature. Mention was made of an 'ia32-apt-get', but that is not available on the 64 bit Debian system (fyi, it's 6.0.1, in case that's relevant). So, is there a way currently to get a 32 bit library installed in a 64 bit environment using apt-get or aptitude, outside of the basic 32 bit support package?
