<html><head><style type="text/css"></style></head><body><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><DIV> <DIV>I'm using fedora 6, the 64-bit edition. I'm trying to build a program that links with a 32-bit library. I'm using a command similar to the following:</DIV> <DIV>g++ -o main /usr/lib/libvorbisfile.so main.cpp</DIV> <DIV>I'm getting an error that tells me that symbols can't read from the library file because it has a wrong format.</DIV> <DIV>However, when I try to build the program with the 64-bit version of the library using a command like the following:</DIV> <DIV> <DIV>g++ -o main /usr/lib64/libvorbisfile.so main.cpp</DIV> <DIV>the program is built successfully.</DIV> <DIV>I tried to build this same program on a system running fedora 6, the <STRONG>32-bit</STRONG> edition, using the same command:</DIV> <DIV> <DIV>g++ -o main /usr/lib/libvorbisfile.so main.cpp</DIV> <DIV>and it was built successfully.</DIV> <DIV>It seems that the gcc on fedora 64-bit refuses to link programs with 32-bit libraries. Is there a method to force the gcc to link programs to 32-bit libraries on a system running the 64-bit edition of fedora 6?</DIV> <DIV>Appreciating your feedback.</DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></div><br> <hr size=1>Boardwalk for $500?
