32 bit support on 64 bit machines?

[dtakahashi]

Hi:

Is there any plan to support 32 bit apps on 64 bit machines?

I'm getting these error messages when I try to run a 32 bit app on my 64 bit machine:

Thanks,

If you have installed the nvidia drive via the script then during install you get a choice to enable 32bit support. In case you didn't do it, you would have to remove the driver and reinstall it with the 32bit support enabled.

Thanks.

We just reinstalled the driver with the 32 bit option, and I'm still getting the same error messages. I think this is a Cadence problem.

prepend the path to your 32bit opengl libraries to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, for example:
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib32/opengl/nvidia/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

This worked for me,
