32bit bombs out

English Applications
#1

I am trying to run the opensuse equivalent to ubuntu’s ia32-lib. I have gathered that I should install the 32-bit environment on my 64-bit 12.3. However, this is what happens:

burn:/home/erik/development # zypper install -t pattern 32bit
Loading repository data…
Reading installed packages…
Resolving package dependencies…

The following NEW pattern is going to be installed:
32bit

Nothing to do.

burn:/home/erik/development #

When I try to install the “32-Bit Runtime Environment” pattern in YaST, the window just disappears after I click “Accept”. Looks like a bug to me. Any thoughts?

It means, I think, that it is already installed.

As a side note:

Please use code tags for printouts and commands. Advanced editor, ‘#’

No, it clearly states that it is going to install 32bit because it is not installed. Likewise, in YaST, the 32 bit environment pattern is not ticked. I tick it, click Accept and the window disappears.

_very few! try to add -v to your zypper incantation, and lets see if
verbose will give us a hint…try the first and if it gives no hints,
then try the second


zypper -v install -t pattern 32bit
zypper -vv install -t pattern 32bit

note: this may be a waste of time…if so: sorry in advance.

Thanks for trying, but not much luck…
