Hello all.

When I try to run skype (which is a 32-bit binary) with artsdsp, I get the following errors: gus@presario:~> artsdsp skype & [1] 9858 gus@presario:~> sh: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/kde3/lib/libartsdsp.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[...]

That makes me wonder whether something is broken in the 64-bit 9.3 sound support. The computer my 64-bit 9.3 is running on is a Presario laptop, with a 2.2 GHz AMD64, nvidia chipset and nvidia graphics card (which is why I bought it in the first place).

'libartsdsp.so.0' exists, but in '/opt/kde3/lib64', not in '/opt/kde3/lib'. Has SuSE compile artsdsp as a 32-bit program? We do

You are missing arts-32bit.rpm

--Now I have it. I am sure! The file '/opt/kde/lib/libartsdsp.so.0' it complains about is there, too! Is there anything wrong with permissions? It is mind-boggling, unless I am missing something very obvious. I pasted the following below: gus@presario:~> rpm -q arts-32bit arts-32bit-9.3-7 gus@presario:~> ls -al /opt/kde3/lib | grep dsp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 886 2005-03-22 11:43 libartsdsp.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2005-05-20 12:52 libartsdsp.so -> libartsdsp.so.0.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2005-05-20 12:52 libartsdsp.so.0 -> libartsdsp.so.0.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11088 2005-03-22 11:43 libartsdsp.so.0.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 868 2005-03-22 11:43 libartsdsp_st.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2005-05-20 12:52 libartsdsp_st.so -> libartsdsp_st.so.0.0.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2005-05-20 12:52 libartsdsp_st.so.0 -> libartsdsp_st.so.0.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 31300 2005-03-22 11:43 libartsdsp_st.so.0.0.0 gus@presario:~> artsdsp skype sh: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/kde3/lib/libartsdsp.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory sh: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/kde3/lib/libartsdsp.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory sh: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/kde3/lib/libartsdsp.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory sh: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/kde3/lib/libartsdsp.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
