Wrong ELF Class ?? 64BITS Linux app error

Trying to run Secondlife-i686-1.23.5.136262 app on Ubuntu 9.10 64 BitS I get

./secondlife/

64-bit Linux detected: Disabling GStreamer (streaming video and music) by default; edit ./secondlife/ to re-enable.

Running from /home/pbureau/Downloads/SecondLife-i686-1.23.5.136262

/usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiogconf.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiogconf.so

/usr/lib/gio/modules/libgioremote-volume-monitor.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgioremote-volume-monitor.so

/usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiofam.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiofam.so

Locate function reveals the following;

locate -eLi libgiogconf.so
/usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiogconf.so
/usr/lib32/gio/modules/libgiogconf.so

locate -eLi libgioremote-volume-monitor.so
/usr/lib/gio/modules/libgioremote-volume-monitor.so
/usr/lib32/gio/modules/libgioremote-volume-monitor.so

locate -eLi libgvfsdbus.so
/usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so
/usr/lib32/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so

which seems to indicates all my 32 bits libs are indeed present, except below

locate -eLi libgiofam.so
/usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiofam.so

1)it seem to report a missing 32 libs in this case , anyone know in what package this would be in ?

2) Also other research indicated to have JRE 32 bits installed as it needs it , and I have this installed as well.

3) Also at the end of the secondlife app run it mentions the following information;

You are running the Second Life viewer on a x86_64 platform, the most common problems when launching the viewer(particularly a "not found" error while loading shared libraries) may be solved by installing your linux distribution 32 bits compatibility packages, for example: ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk, ia32-libs-kde ia32-libs-sdl

Now I i have run apt-get and successfully installed;

ia32-libs succesfully

ia32-libs-gtk: Note, Selecting ia32-libs instead of ia32-libs-gtk, ia2-libs is already the newest version.

ia32-libs-kde: couldn't find package ia32-libs-kde this one is maybe this is because I use Gnome ?

ia32-libs-sdl: Note, Selecting ia32-libs instead of ia32-libs-sdl, ia2-libs is already the newest version.


4) What am I missing here ? Help please


5) alsosomeone suggested to visit a web site and run a report on my video card
the script is the following one:

cat /proc/pci | grep VGA || lspci | grep VGA | colrm 1 4 ; cat /proc/cpuinfo | \
egrep "model name|MHz" ; xdpyinfo | egrep "version:|dimensions|depth of" ; glxinfo | \
egrep -A2 "direct rendering|OpenGL vendor" ; uname -sr; glxgears & sleep 30 ; \
killall glxgears

it reports the following... seems I have no ATI drivers for 3d ?
even though package manager reports all ATi Driver loaded.

So I could use any help or run any "search" you need , I am at a loss here

You are trying to run the 32-bit version of secondlife. If they don't have a 64-bit version, then you are missing some of the 32-bit libraries needed to run this application, such as gstreamer and such. So, install the 32-bit versions (as well as the 64-bit ones) of the various components you need. You can do that either with apt-get from a command line, or using the synaptic package manager.

good idea, why did I not think, write it down and actually INDICATE the libraries ARE installed while I was researching my issue ?

just in case I wasn't clear in my first message.. and title.. ELF ERROR is the issue, and if you read more than 6 lines of my information you would notice the additional information about my locate search indicating the 64 and 32 bits libraries where in fact in place, the Gstreamer app is irrelevant to this issue as it is 'turned off by default' as a optional switch of using voice or not on second life chat.

now yes this is a 32bit application, with no 64 bit application availability.
yes I have ia32-libs installed and 64 bits
yes I have Jre 32 bits installed and 64 bits.

The 32-bit libraries are found in /usr/lib and 64-bit ones in /usr/lib64. If somehow a 64-bit library got installed into /usr/lib, then that would explain your problem The ELF error is indicating that a shared library that the application (a 32-bit one indicated by the i686 in the name) is trying to load a 64-bit shared library. That is the issue here, and why I mentioned that you need to verify that you had the correct 32-bit libraries installed. So, you need to determine what the actual situation may be.

As for post count, that is maintained by this web site.

okay, if /usr/lib is the 32 bits and /usr/lib32 is the 32 bits and the /usr/lib64 is the 64 bits libraries...

how in heck do I check what was installed by packager... ?

I would assume since I am running Linux x86_64 that my /usr/lib is actually 64 bits no? (maybe my logic is too simplistic) but hey I can be wrong ...

10 days now searching for this... nothing, no explanations, like I was the first Linux user to install Second life on their box and encountering a single issue.. hard to beleive it, even the linux support forum on second life guys are 'baffled'

I do everything one does want to be done, apt-get ia32-libs install = would assume install 32 bits libaries where they should be... gawd I am frustrated... everything else I have compiled, installed, all work except this one.

looking to resolve it as I would like to take my i5 box to linux , but this is blocking me

A 64-bit linux (x86_64) can run either or both 32-bit and 64-bit programs. That's why /usr/lib is for 32-bit only libraries, plus some configuration stuff that isn't relevant to this discussion. All 64-bit libraries go into /usr/lib64. So,

is incorrect. /usr/lib MUST be 32-bit only.

okay then assuming I am wrong...

how does one check if a libary file is 32 bits or 64 bits..

Since looking at the file name or folder not withstanding since we are in the assumption that possibly my libraries have been "intermixed or filed by the os at the wrong place"

You should have a tool called readelf in /usr/bin. It will allow you to look at various data and information contained in a shared library. Example, to read the ELF header in your library: readelf -h /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiogconf.so
It should show the class as ELF64 or ELF32.

If you don't have that tool, it is in the binutils package which you can install using your system package manager.

Well seems you have found the issue

readelf -h /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiogconf.so
ELF Header:
Magic: 7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Class: ELF64

readelf -h /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgioremote-volume-monitor.so
ELF Header:
Magic: 7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Class: ELF64

readelf -h /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so
ELF Header:
Magic: 7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Class: ELF64

readelf -h /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgiofam.so
ELF Header:
Magic: 7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Class: ELF64


okay so the libraries in /usr/lib are ELF64 instead of ELF32

libs in /usr/lib32 are correctly ELF32 btw
so is it as simple as copying the libs over to /usr/lib to solve this problem ?
or is there a PATH statement I may be missing ?
