Dear Debian-user, newly installed AMD64 Squeeze.
I've decided to try installing Debian in 64bit for the first time, and
restoring my home files has exposed a 32bit legacy.
"wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32"
So I installed all the ia32libs, but the error is occurring. Clearly
the "ELF class ELFCLASS32" is not being recognized as having
libraries available.
This is one small binary, but if I can get ELFCLASS32 recognized for
one little binary, then it will be available for any others, too.
Suggestions? My Google-fu reveals answers for particular applications,
but nothing which makes it system-wide.
Curt-
Is a 64 version not available? Wrong elf class occasionally means
binary incompatibility, e.g., running Ubuntu binaries on a Debian
system. Is the source available? You can try rebuilding from source.
This is set to become less of a problem with multiarch, but multiarch is
not ready yet. However, you can try this:
$dpkg --add-architecture i386
along with making sure your other infrastructure is 32-bit friendly.
Mixing 32- and 64-bit libraries leads to this, and it crops up a lot in
Java, so make sure that is in order. Flash may cause this error,
installing the 64-bit version actually installs both versions, and
should solve it if it's Flash.
Let us know when you find the solution, your experience may help others.
