This happens for mesa-libgl as well under both x86 and x86_64.. do I have to install 32bit nvidia drivers for this to work?

those who are running this on x86_64 what steps did you take to make this work?

thx

NEVER EVER run a 32bit binary in a 64bit environment.
If you really need to do that, chroot a 32bit environment.

The easiest way would be to get the 64bit client, search the forum for it.

I have that problem, but I use windows to play tremulous, I only use Linux to patch, and compile.

this distro is multi-lib so running 32bit in a 64bit is ok as long as the libraries are present which they are which is why I was curious.

but if someone has recompiled for 64bit client ill search for that

update: had to remove mesa-libGL.i386 and re-install to replace the libGL.so.1 that was linked to by the x86_64 version

this is f7 btw
