Re: 32-Bit Chroot How-To

- Made sure all instances of firefox are closed (you can not run both 32 and 64 bit firefoxes at the same time afaik... it just spawns a new 64 bit thread when you launch the old.
- firefox32
- Visited a site with flash on it and ran the automated firefox flash install.
As of right now sound is not working. If I figure out how to get the sound stuff working across the chroot, I'll post it here.
I tried this, and I have verified that I have the 32bit version of firefox running, but I get the following message:
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /home/mthaddon/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [libXmu.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
I've checked that the file exists:
ls -l /home/mthaddon/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mthaddon mthaddon 2096844 2004-05-20 07:34 /home/mthaddon/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Any idea what's happening here?
---------------------------------
Resolution:
Found out I needed to install libxmu6 - fixed the problem. Now have 32bit firefox version running nicely.
Thanks, Tom
