What you want is ln -s $CHROOT/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 > It seems that the goal here is to be able to run a 32-bit app (I'm > trying to run the Real Video player) without having to do a chroot. > Correct? Right, although it's not at all clear to me from reading the HOWTO that that will really work. You're right that that part is confusingly written. As well as I can tell, it seems that that section, as well as "The Quick Way", is about running 32-bit apps without a chroot, while the other sections inbetween them are about setting up a chroot. Personally I've had complete success with the chroot, and no success at all with the other. A. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
