No 32-Bit Runtime Environment Pattern in 13.1 YAST ?

I just noticed that this Pattern option is not displayed in YAST for 13.1.

Is there a particular reason?
I think I may be chasing a 32bit library issue (THREAD) with a proprietary program, but am not sure exactly what might be missing.

I was about to apply the shotgun approach (install the 32bit Pattern), then noticed it wasn’t there.

Probably because a shotgun approach isn’t the best approach to selecting
libraries to install.

From your other thread, it looks like you might either need zlib-32bit
or, failing that, the program just isn’t compatible with the library
version included with 13.1.

You can run ldd against the binary to see what libraries it’s looking for.

Thanks for the idea Jim
I ran ldd - v on the executable and there are no missing dependencies.
But I am also confused that all the dependencies are 64bit; while the vuescan support info implies that some 32 bit libs are needed.

Could be an evolution issue, not clear yet.
I’ll keep digging.
