I am trying to run a program secondlife (only 32 bit is available)
but on run I get these errors:

    Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
    Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gail": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgail.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

    /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
    Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so

These errors are common in some other applications like skype too.
So I intalled some 32 bit libs using the
getlibs package (http://frozenfox.freehostia.com/cappy/):

libgail, gail, libgail-gnome-module, libpanel-applet, libpanel-applet2-0,
libbonobui-2, libbonobui, libbonoboui2-0, libgnome2-0, libavahi-glib1,
libglib2.0-0,

    export GTK_PATH=export GTK_PATH=/usr/lib32/gtk-2.0:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0

Changing the GTK_PATH + above fixed all the errors relating gtk but still
libgvfsdbus one prevailed

So I again added these 32 bit libs: libgnomevfs2-0, gvfs
But this did not fix it, so on further lookup (mostly ubntu bug trackers):

    strings /usr/lib32/libgio-2.0.so.0.2400.2 | grep gio/module
    /usr/lib/gio/modules

So this seems a linking problem for libgio module in ia32-libs.
This was fixed in ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/369498/comments/68

Will the gvfs libs and linking problems fixed in squeeze anytime soon?

Or is there some way such that the module load from lib32 instead of
lib (like GTK_PATH)?
