Cannot run 32 bit applications.

I downloaded the precompiled versions of peazip and foxit, they say -

./FoxitReader: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

./peazip: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

When creating a symbolic links in lib32 of libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 and libX11.so.6 -

./peazip: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

./FoxitReader: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

Oh yes, I know.

In my make.conf I have -

CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe"

Is there anyway to emerge a single package with 32bit compatibility?

That has nothing to do with your CFLAGS, but with your CHOST.

For some 32 bit applications to run you need some of the app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-* packages. In your case app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs and app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs.

To run 32-bit apps in a 64 bit system, you need to install the emul-linux-x86-* packages. You can install all of them or just the ones you need.

From the messages you posted, you need emul-linux-x86-compat and emul-linux-x86-gtklibs, at the bare minimum.

And remove the sym links you created in the lib32 directory.

If the application is 32-bit, it will not load a 64-bit library, hence the error codes when you created the sym links.

Hope this helps.
