Where are 64 bit binaries for Slackware?

[hedron]

Code: Select all

downloads# file /usr/bin/wine
/usr/bin/wine: ELF 32-bit LSB  executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

Code: Select all

downloads# uname -m
x86_64

So, I installed wine and I get: "No such file or directory" when I attempt to use it. But it appears I have downloaded the 32-bit version, but it says x86_64 on the installer package.

64 bit Wine by itself is not much use; 32 bit Wine is also needed. 64 bit packages should include both, or pull in a separate 32 bit package as a dependency.

I don't know what you downloaded, or where you downloaded it from. Slackware packages are on Sourceforge, and they do have 64 bit ones. http://sourceforge.net/projects/wine/fi ... es/1.7.21/

If you downloaded the package from Sourceforge, and it's not working, contact the package maintainer. WineHQ has nothing to do with binary packaging. http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=19854

So both 32 bit and 64bit packages should be downloaded and installed ?. What if i just use the 32bit variant ?

I don't use Slackware, and have no idea whether they put both in one package or not; that varies by distro. I also don't know if Slackware even packages 64 bit Wine--the 64 bit packages could be 32 bit Wine, packaged for 64 bit. These are all things you need to ask your distro.

Okay thanks for the answer. I'll read up on the Slackware documentation. I am new to all this and it seems confusing so sorry if i sound dumb.
