Library Problem
 

Although I have used linux since before the RedHat Mother's Day release
I am not an OS type person.


I have just installed the 64 bit Debian 6.05 and am encountering
problems which I am reasonably sure are due to library problems.


The error message that I get for a number of applications, most recently
Opera, is:


Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module":
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class:
ELFCLASS64


I presume that the error message means that there is a missing 32 bit
library on my 64 bit system. Now the problem is that I don't know how
to add a 32 bit library to 64 bit system using apt-get. My
/etc/apt/sources.list is:


#

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 _Squeeze_ - Official amd64 DVD
Binary-1 20120512-14:34]/ squeeze contrib main


# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 _Squeeze_ - Official amd64 DVD
Binary-1 20120512-14:34]/ squeeze contrib main


deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free

# squeeze-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
# A network mirror was not selected during install. The following entries
# are provided as examples, but you should amend them as appropriate
# for your mirror of choice.
#
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze contrib non-free main
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze contrib non-free main
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib
deb http://cran.case.edu/bin/linux/debian squeeze-cran/

what do I add to access 32 bit files:

Thanks in advance.

Which applications, exactly?

What does Opera technical support say?

It looks like you have a 32bit version of Opera. There are some
packages you can install, try 'apt-cache search ia32-libs'. I'm not
sure if that lists all of them, and the NVIDIA drivers in testing are
currently broken with 32bit software that uses SDL.

Maybe the easiest would be to simply install the opera package dedicated
to debian 64 bit ?
Here is a direct link:
http://www.opera.com/download/get.pl?id=35053&amp;location=319&nothanks=yes&sub= marine
But you should use their webpage which gave it to me:
http://www.opera.com/browser/download/?os=linux-x86-64&ver=12.02&local=y
(Hopefully it will not be in French ;) )
