Viewers Standard or Firestorm in Linux Debian 7-64

[Rstan]

Please help me, If anyone run viewers under Linux 64? I can't run them there.

You are running the Firestorm Viewer on a x86_64 platform.  The
most common problems when launching the Viewer (particularly
'bin/do-not-directly-run-firestorm-bin: not found' and 'error while
loading shared libraries') may be solved by installing your Linux
distribution's 32-bit compatibility packages.
For example, on Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linuxes you might run:
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk ia32-libs-kde ia32-libs-sdl
root@debsrv1:/home/trn/firestorm#
root@debsrv1:/home/trn/firestorm# apt-get install ia32-libs

Welcome to the wonderful world of debian multiarch.

The debian people decided to switch their system to a new architecture called multiarch. This has broken the 32 bit compatibility  for many applications completely.

 

There are 3 possible solutions:

1.

Use a 64 bit viewer. Singularity, Kokua and Teapot are available as native 64 bit builds

 

2.

Try to find out which :386 libs are needed by your 32 bit application and install all of tthem manually.

I tried this but thanks to the debian idiots, many of the approximately 80 packages that are necessary are not available as :386  version or will try to remove your graphics driver, your whole desktop or even the kernel.

3.

Use a different operating system.

I switched to Linux Mint after  multiarch came in and made my system unuseable. Here, 32 bit compatibility still works, cause the mint people make a working system for users  instead of making experimental  major architecture changes that just make pakagers' and maintainers' lives easier.

Thanks for you message, I try to choose one of three solutions.

I don't want to jump and run aroun my PC  with manualy intalled x 32 packages

I don't want to try another OS. I work in Debian, and I don't any time to experiment in others

I will try 64 bin Viewer. But I don't know which viewer from Singularity, Kokua and Teapot will be the best choice.

About Teapot - message from Developer:

https://bitbucket.org/ArminW/teapot/issue/28/fails-to-launch#comment-2720600

"It's quite a while that I saw this last time, if I remember correctly its happening if mesa drivers aren't installed (libgl1-mesa-glx libglu1-mesa in debian squeeze, probably the same in ubuntu). However, teapot isn't under active development anymore, sadly "real life" doesn't leave time for that. I recommend using Firestorm as a Viewer-3 style viewer, or Cool-VL-Viewer or Singularity for an up-to-date Viewer-1 style viewer. Singularity has a Linux 64bit version, the others to my knowledge are only available as 32bit versions."

I set Singularity and it works, but it's interface is different from standard LL - which is like me very much.

[Rstan]

After working in these viewers, except Firestorm, because I couldn't run it, I decided to wait 64 release standard LL viewer for Debian 7. How can I know about it's release?

[Jean Horten]

There are no plans to release an oficial 64 bit Linux viewer.

So it's Singularity or Kokua for you, or Ubuntu 64 bit multiarch and a 32 bit viewer of your choice.

Try editing the firestorm script and add :/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri to the end of the line LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH

e.g.

export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH="${LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH}":/usr/lib64/dri:/usr/lib32/dri:/usr/lib/dri:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri

[Rstan]

I don't understand what is a script from firestorm I should edit?

Hi all! I had same problem. I have been resolving it several days and now found the solution.

You need to install ia32-libs-gtk , look here http://piccy.info/view3/7543361/e85024d0eea1af629d91bf0bf3ccf363/orig/

After that you need to run file "secondlife" in the terminal window as usual from corresponding directory (for example): 

nik@debian:~$ cd /home/niklance/install-folder/Second_Life_3_7_23_297296_i686

nik@debian:~/install-folder/Second_Life_3_7_23_297296_i686$ ./secondlife

 

A miracle happened! It works!

All the best guys!
