[Pkg-ia32-libs-maintainers] Bug#521623: ia32-libs: libGL.so tries to load x86-64 i915_dri.so

[Jarrad Whitaker]

Package: ia32-libs
Version: 2.7
Severity: normal


Hi,
I've just had a hell of a time trying to get direct rendering to work in
x86 apps - WorldOfGoo to be precise, but the problem seems to apply to
all 32 bit applications that need DRI. They're reverting to software
rendering.

I think I've narrowed the problem down to the following error from the
LD_DEBUG mechanism:

file=/usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so [0];  needed by /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1 [0]

I'm downloading the source to this package now, but my knowledge of C is
incredibly limited.

/usr/lib32/dri/i915_dri.so is installed by this package, and in fact
making /usr/lib/dri/i195_dri.so a link to the x86 version makes the x86
apps I tested (WorldOfGoo and glxinfo) run with DRI. This isn't what I'd
call an elegant solution, however.

I'm a newbie at bug reporting, so you might have to ask some silly questions
of me, sorry. :)

Thanks,
Jarrad Whitaker
