= 64bit Issues = Problems installing 64bit (x86_64) as a desktop. Problems arise when you install 64bit but need to install 32bit applications as well. Known workarounds for specific applications == Adobe Reader (acrobat) == * sssd-client.i686 - required for getuid to work The sssd dependency is the only dependency that isn't straight forward to find. To find the rest load LD_LIBRARY_PATH with the path to the Adobe libraries, then ldd acroread and look for not found {{{ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib ldd /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread |grep "not found" }}} Then install the packages that provide the missing libraries by looking for the lib64 versions of the libraries. For instance if libpng.so.12 was not found: {{{ libpng12.so.0 => not found root@client[1047]: rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libpng12.so.0 libpng-1.2.44-1.el6.x86_64 root@client[1048]: yum install libpng.i686 root@client[1049]: ldd /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread |grep libpng libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 (0x002c5000) }}} When you've finished installing all the dependencies using this method, you should not have any not found libraries returned from the ldd above. == Flash-plugin == The 64bit version of flash-plugin is currently unsupported by adobe, it's available on labs.adobe.com at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
