    Whatever program it is you are running requires 32bit libraries. In this case the file you need is in the package glibc.i686.

    If you use yum an even easier way to fix 32bit issues like this (other programs or even the one you are running may have problems with other files missing) is to use "yum install fle_to_install" (e.g. "yum install lib/ld-linux.so.2"). Yum will then look for any package containing that file and offer to install it.

    Re: lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

    thanks for the help.

    I was wondering though about using yum install to install things I've downloaded from internet. For example: I've downloaded a Dwarf Fortress game and it came in .tar.bz2 file. Do I first decompress it and then run the yum install on the main file, or to do it on the compressed file (whatever the extension it be)?

    Thanks for the help.

    Re: lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

    I would imagine yum on the compressed file might not work. I would suggest decompressing the file and see what file needs to be installed.

    If the file is a .tar.b2z file then wouldn't you need to ./configure ; make ; make install ???

    That has been my experience as of now. I have not come across using yum directly on a tar file yet ...

    Re: lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

    I've downloaded the game in the tar.b2z file and have extracted it. In the newly created folder I see no .configure file and nothing in any of the text files tells me what to do with this game. The web site ... The forum wasn't working too well when I visited.

    Do you have redhat-lsb installed?

    rpm -qa | grep redhat-lsb

    Re: lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

    Nope. I do not have redhat-lsb installed.

    I managed to get the game running actually. I installed all the required libraries and executed the program 'df' to start the game. It did give some errors, mostly, about not being able to find some theme engines. One example is below,

    (Dwarf_Fortress:8454): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks"

    Hi,
    New to the forum. This post pretty much describes my issue, but, when I do "yum install ld-linux.so.2" I get another error mesg.
    Code:
     file /usr/lib64/audit from install of glibc-2.16-30.fc18.x86_64 conflicts with
    file from package audit-2.2.1-2.fc18.x86_64
    Thoughts?

    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    It's hard to say without the full output but I suspect it's because you left out the directory part from my example. Without the "lib/" part yum can pick up other files with the same name in other directories (i am not near a computer at the moment but audit could contain such a file). In addition since you left off the lib directory the 64bit file would match just as well and yum is supposed to pick 64bit over 32 when it has the choice which would make the whole exercise pointless.

    If it still fails with what I actually said then please post the complete yum output and I can hopefully help you further.

    In addition of course the original problem can also be fixed with by installing glibc.i686 or redhat-lsb.i686 (which automatically requires the former and some other stuff). The other way I posted purely as a more flexible way that can be applied to other similar problems.

    Hi John,

    I tried the yum install both with lib/ and /lib/ and got the same result both ways.

    I see that yum went looking in a repository called 'ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/pub/fedora/linux/updates/18/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml' Do I need to get it to go to a 32-bit repository?

    Will try your other suggestion ...

    yum install redhat-lsb.i686 completed successfully. Now I'll try the original package installation again.

    Thanks,

    On Fedora Core 19, use

    yum install libstdc++.i686
