64- and 32bit-version of libcurl
Hi everybody. I tried to install xine from http://packman.links2linux.de because the suse-version does not play DVDs... I could only find 32-bit-versions of xine and when I installed them, they did not find libcurl (although it is installed). If i install the 32bit-version (with --force), I can install the xine-rpms but I have problems with other suse-packages... Is there a possibility to install both 32- and 64bit versions of libcurl? Or are there 64-bit versions of xine that play most video-formats and dvds? Thank you, Gery
Hello, I am very new to Linux, but I have a new AMD64 system running SuSE 9.1, and am very pleased. My question is regarding my older PCs. Can I install a minimal installation of SuSE on my old PCs, and allow them to connect to my main machine to run the programs located on it? This would be akin to using an old Windows machine to connect to a terminal server to run programs. I don't think my old PCs will run very well running a full KDE environment. What would the old PC need to do this, and would the main AMD64 system need special packages to allow for this? Thanks
You can use ssh if you want to run programms on the console. If you want access to x-enviroment (kde) you can always use vnc On Sun, 2004-11-14 at 02:58, Mark Creamer wrote:

That might be overkill, though. First see if a plain-jane SUSE install will do. The main potential problems are that modern distros tend to use multiple GB of disk space and that the GUIs are gobbling up RAM and CPU cycles. Replacing KDE with e.g. fvwm2 (which is actually a great window manager, once you get the knack of how to configure it) could take quite a bit of load off the system, and you may be able to squeeze into a fairly small disk partition if you can live without development packages and the like. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.

Yes of course. one in /lib the other in /lib64. The problem you have is most likely is that you need a different version of libcurl. I would extract the 32bit version of libcurl you need into a different directory (e.g. with rpm --prefix or rpm2cpio) and then run xine with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/other/libcurl/lib xine
Or are there 64-bit versions of xine that play most video-formats and dvds?
Most video formats tends to require the ability to load windows DLLs, and that tends to not work in 64bit because there is neither a win64 PE loader nor 64bit versions of the popular video dlls. -Andi

The Packmanversion doesn´t play DVDs either. You need a certain library to enable it. Take a look at developers.videolan.org

Did you install or update? (-i or -U) I'd propose to 'rpm -i --force' the 64bit curl package again, so the 32bit libs stay at /usr/lib/
Is there a possibility to install both 32- and 64bit versions of libcurl?
Or are there 64-bit versions of xine that play most video-formats and dvds?
Thank you, Gery
