Odd Gentoo multilib bug

Posted by Christopher Smith Tue, 26 Feb 2008 01:07:00 GMT

So, I have been having problems with my name resolution working with Gentoo x86-64 when running multilib 32-bit apps. The source of the problem is that the mdns libraries aren’t being built for 32-bit for some reason (no multilib flag either). So, I fixed with this:

ln -s /opt/x86-chroot/usr/lib/libnss_mdns* /usr/lib32

Now everything just works.
