Comment #22 on issue 977 by squashspam: Update fails on Linux/Firefox
(incompatible build type)

"For those that are getting here after searching for the answer here is a
breakdown of
the problem.
The version being downloaded from the gears site is for 64bit and not
32bit. ..."
here is a step-by-step for 32bit users:
mkdir /tmp/gears ; cd /tmp/gears
wget http://dl.google.com/gears/current/gears-linux-opt.xpi
unzip gears-linux-opt.xpi
sed -i "s/Linux_x86_64-gcc3/Linux_x86-gcc3/" install.rdf
zip -r gears-linux-opt.xpi install.rdf
Now open firefox then press CTRL+O (open file), browse to /tmp/gears/ and
install the
"patched" gears-linux-opt.xpi
Done!
:D
