Hi All, I have been using gentoo for the last +- 5 years anyway after a hdd dying on me yesterday I decided to try arch last night.
I downloaded and installed the ISO and was impressed with the speed, simplicity and my general first impression was good. I had also downloaded some extra packages including openbox, qemu, blah blah blah. I installed the additional packages using the command # pacman -A <package name> all seemed to go well until I tried to run the application. $ figlet /usr/bin/figlet: cannot execute binary file My question is this, I downloaded these packages from the extra/os/x86_64 folder from the same mirror I dl'ed the ISO. how can the be incompatible ? I did not run $ file <filename> To check the format as I did not think of it last night, I have googled but come up with nothing :-( Overall first impressions are really good, I suddenly understand the hype. :-) Wayn0 _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
