gtk radiant on 64bit linux

(otty) #1

hi

i have tryed the forum search several times. there is a little problem (mysql errors en mass) so i open a new thread.
i have a native 64bit linux system and the gtkradiant does not work. it says it cant load the libxml2.so library. i assume it is a problem with the 64bit librarys, linking them doesnt work, old 32bit libs wont work either. so my question is, is this a bug? a known problem? or is there a way to run gtkradiant without creating a 32bit chroot? i really need this program and i definitly wont install windows only for this :wink:

this is the message:


otty@ottybox /opt/gtkradiant$ radiant
./radiant.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
otty@ottybox /opt/gtkradiant$

even the lib exists in /usr/lib64, in /usr/lib/ and in usr/lib32…

sorry, the post was moved. thought that is an important generall issue, because the radiant produces the fault, not the engines.

Could be that, you know, are missing libxml2.so from the correct place.

Either of these RPM packages should work with your Linux distrobution and have that file.

after some linking crosswords my system:

otty@ottybox ~$ radiant 
./radiant.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

but the problem is, i have all this libs, portage has installed them correctly. (im using gentoo). i assume it is a problem with the radiant, not with my system.

It won’t be a problem with Radiant, you probably don’t have access, run it as root and see what happens.

Install one of the RPMs just to be safe.

the same. but i will not use precompiled libs from other systems. has anybody out there a gtkradiant running on 64bit linux? it isnt possible that i am the only one…
