Thanks! I'm in the process of setting up my first, new 64-bit desktop system. Trying to install Workstation was the last thing that I had time to do Saturday and when it failed I just packed it in for the weekend.

I am migrating from i386 to amd64: `chroot' stuff is certainly the best way, but the idea to have a second system to maintain on my box afraid me.

Hello List,

install acroread ?
No, Acroread is not yet ported to 64 bits architectures. You should ask
Adobe about it. :)
As a matter of fact the 32bit version can run with appropriate packages and
fixes.
For the record, as for January 3rd 2007 and on a Etch machine:
apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk
dpkg -i --force-all acroread_7.0.8-0.0_i386.deb
where acroread_7.0.8-0.0_i386.deb can be grab here
http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/a/acroread/
Then in the script `/usr/bin/acroread' the line near the end
exec "$ACRO_EXEC_CMD" ${1+"$@"}
was replaced by
export GTK_PATH=/usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/
export GCONV_PATH=/usr/lib32/gconv
export PANGO_RC_FILE=/etc/pango32/pangorc
export GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE=/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders.32
export GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE=/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk.immodules.32
exec "$ACRO_EXEC_CMD" ${1+"$@"} 2> ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/acroread-err.log
`stderr' is redirected to avoid remaining noise.
The configuration file `/etc/pango32/pangorc' had to be added, it contains:
[Pango]
ModuleFiles=/etc/pango32/pango.modules
ModulesPath=/usr/lib32/pango/1.5.0/modules
[PangoX]
AliasFiles=/etc/pango/pangox.aliases
and in the file `/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders.32'
/usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/
must be replaced by
/usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/
The main information are here (further informations can be find there too):
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianAMD64Faq
Otherwise, to debug I had to play with `strace' anf Google:
`strace' to figure out which files were badly opened,
and Google to get the answer (nothing new here).
I have certainly forget some other steps:
anyhow the basic idea are here.
hth,
Jerome

kernel general protection fault
Just as a piece of information, because it had no irreversible consequences. During a memory-intensive mpqc computation, I found yesterday the system halted with message on the screen: At 2.35 UTC kernel: general protection fault.

Re: keep specific versions of packages
On Sat, 30 Dec 2006, Francesco Pietra wrote: dselect recognizes the mpqc 2.3.1-0.2 installation and I could place "H" on that. that's ok. You should actually put on hold all packages which come from the mpqc source package. To see what packages come from a given source package you can use the apt-cache command, as in "apt-cache showsrc mpqc". This will tell you that the mpqc source package generates the binary packages: mpqc, libsc7, libsc-doc, libsc-dev, mpqc-support. You therefore ought to have produced a 2.3.1-0.2 version of all of them as well, when you compiled your personal mpqc. Install them and put them on hold as well. As to libint, is it a library which is included in mpqc? A system library? A library you compiled yourself as well which is not part of available debian packages? In any case, I don't think you should need to do anything special about it. Moreover, simply placing "H" on the mpqc package does prevent upgradind dependencies, or is that immaterial to mpqc functioning? Not necessarily. In any case, the only dependencies you should worry about and put on hold are the ones on libraries coming from mpqc itself. In principle it is possible that an upgrade to another library may cause problems to mpqc, but changes which make a library incompatible with previous versions are a very rare occurrence, avoided whenever possible (even in unstable) due to the havoc such things may easily wreak.
