Heya,

I'm getting the below errors on any version of the SL client I try. It doesn't happen all the time, just occasionally. It'll run for hours, then POOF, it crashes with this:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gail": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgail.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "atk-bridge": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libatk-bridge.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

It seems kinda odd, I am guessing something is fishy with my Ubuntu since I don't see anyone else reporting it, and I do have all the ia32 stuff installed.

Any advice would be awesome. Thanx all!

it looks like SL is trying to load 64bit compiled objects, where I think the official SL client is 32-bit and thus can only use 32bit libraries(aka the ia32-libs on a 64 bit distro)... No idea why it does this and how to solve it though....

Maybe trying out one of the alternative viewers which is compiled itself for 64bit would help....

I looked up that "libgail.so" (I run 64-bit OpenSUSE 11.0) and found the following referent:
gail-32bit - The GNOME Accessibility Implementation Library

Try looking for "gail" in Ubuntu's software install system and install the 32-bit version of that.

gail-32bit doesn't seem to exist in 64 bit Ubuntu repos.

I also looked around for a 64 bit build, can't find one except for the stuff on byteme.co.uk, but no matter how many times I try to get gpg to add a proper key for their repository, I can't get it to work.

Thanx for the info. If someone knows anything else I can try, please let me know. :)

*edit*

/usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/modules/libgail.so
/usr/lib32/libgailutil.so.18
/usr/lib32/libgailutil.so.18.0.1

I dug around on my hard drive and found the above are installed. I dunno why it's trying to use the 64bit libs in the viewer when these are in place.
