Hi
On my computer
Code:
Linux dave 2.6.34-gentoo-r1 #1 SMP Mon Jul 26 17:33:29 CEST 2010 i686 Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

i installed 'app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-compat-20120520' because i need to run some ancient 32-bit software which requires libs like libstdc++.so.5 etc.

After installation there are directories /lib32 and /usr/lib32 with various libraries
Code:
dave ~ # ls /lib32 /usr/lib32/
/lib32:
ld-linux.so.1

/usr/lib32/:
libc.so.5  libg++.so.2.7.2  libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2  libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3  libstdc++.so.2.7.2  libstdc++.so.2.8  libstdc++.so.2.9  libstdc++.so.5  libstdc++.so.5.0.7


Now i just did an 'emerge -e world' after a sync, and now baselayout-2.1-r1 complains:
Code:
>>> Failed to emerge sys-apps/baselayout-2.1-r1, Log file:

>>>  '/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/baselayout-2.1-r1/temp/build.log'

 * Messages for package sys-apps/baselayout-2.1-r1:

 * You need to merge /lib32 into /lib
 * ERROR: sys-apps/baselayout-2.1-r1 failed (setup phase):
 *   non-empty dir found where there should be none: /lib32
 *

(When i rename /lib23 to /lb32.BAK, baselayout complains the same way about /usr/lib32)

I suppose i could unmerge emul-linux-x86-compat, emerge world, and then reemerge emul-linux-x86-compat,
but this doesn't seem very elegant, and i'd have to do the same thing each time a new baselayout is built.

how can i solve this issue ?

Thank You
Jody

emul-linux is a packet of 32bit precompiled libs, designed to use on 64bit systems.
You may need sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 (or the -bin version).

Hi gorkypl

What is the difference between and emul-linux-x86-compat and sys-libs/libstdc++-v3?
Will sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 contain all libraries needed to run the old 32 Bit software on my 64bit computer?

Thank YOu
Jody

Code:

app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-compat
Description: 32 bit lib-compat, and also libgcc_s and libstdc++ from gcc 3.3 and 3.4 for non-multilib systems

It is for 64bit systems.

Code:

sys-libs/libstdc++-v3
Description: Compatibility package for running binaries linked against a pre gcc 3.4 libstdc++

Can't say, it depends on the libraries that your software needs ;)
