Installing 32bit Libraries

English Hardware
1

I have OpenSuse x64 12.1. Apparently my search terms aren’t very good. I would think this would be covered somewhere, but I can’t find it.

I’m trying to run Second Life and getting this error:

“You are running the Second Life Viewer on a x86_64 platform. The
most common problems when launching the Viewer (particularly
‘bin/do-not-directly-run-secondlife-bin: not found’ and ‘error while
loading shared libraries’) may be solved by installing your Linux
distribution’s 32-bit compatibility packages.
For example, on Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linuxes you might run:
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk ia32-libs-kde ia32-libs-sdl”

In Ubuntu, I would have just run the command listed in the error message, but Yast doesn’t find anything for the term “ia32”.

How do I install 32bit libraries in OpenSuse 12.1 x64?

This assumes KDE (or the qt interface for Yast).

Open Yast software managment. Click on the “Patterns” tab. If there isn’t such a tab, then click on “View” and select “patterns”.

Somewhere down there in Base Technologies, you will find “32-bit runtime environment”. Select that.

I think that should do what you want.
