Hello

I just install a slack64 box. Install performs well.

I have a lot of 32bits executable and I'm unable to run them under
slack64. It is clearly a lib problem.

ldd says it is not an executable
file says it is an ELF-32bits executable

Usually (ex under debian), we can install an ia-32 package in order
to run 32bits progs under 64bits OS.

Is it possible under slack64?

Thanks

and even more if you like it, read the excellent pages
on the multilib toolbox by Eric Hameleers.

You need multilib support. Try googling? Think alien rings a bell.

That's what I meant. Worked a treat for me.
