Re: Confused about symlink for AMD64



Hi,

The symbolic link should be this one:

usr/src/fglrx-installer-8.10.19/usr/X11R6/lib -> /usr/src/fglrx-installer-8.10.19/usr/X11R6/lib64

After that, I was be able to install the driver, but when X are started using "fglrx" driver the system hangs up (kernel panic). I was not able to make it work. I supose that support for AMD64 is not very tested.

Good luck

I don't think that error is caused by the missing symlink, but then I don't know what the problem is and how to solve it. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with AMD64 systems yet.

Note that the error with libfglrx_gamma.1 is harmless. You need to solve only the other one.

But I don't understand from *which* working directory this command should be run: ln -s lib /usr/X11R6/lib64



From any, as the destination is an absolute path. That command creates a relative symlink /usr/X11R6/lib64 that points to lib in the same directory.


OK. Thanks. The latter issue about the symlink was obviously due to my lack of understanding of the "ln" tool. The symlink is in place. I actually think it was already created by the sarge-AMD64 packages. I assume they are updated since the "Notes for AMD64 users" was written(?).

It looks like this (the other way around: lib64 links to lib):

bash# ls -ld /usr/X11R6/lib*
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 3120 Apr  5 15:16 /usr/X11R6/lib
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    3 Apr  5 03:30 /usr/X11R6/lib64 -> lib


The linking error was because I didn't have these packages installed yet: ia32-libs ia32-libs-dev

I installed those, and also installed: lib32gcc1 and lib32stdc++6 because it seemed to me I would them as well. If not for fglrx, probably for other things later on.

But now I still get this:

dpkg-shlibdeps: failure: ldd on `debian/fglrx-driver/emul/ia32-linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2' gave error exit status 1
dh_shlibdeps: command returned error code 256
make: *** [binary] Error 1

Any ideas would be welcome...
