I just installed XFree86-4_4_0 from source on an AMD running Linux 2.6.8.1/SMP (gcc-3.4.2, Suse 9.1). After "make World/make install" the desktop seemed a little slow starting, so I ran ldconfig and rebooted.
Now, all 64-bit applications run O.K., and so do non-X-windows 32-bit applications. However, 32-bit X-windows applications fail with:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Protocol not supported by server
Error: Can't open display: :0.0
Many libraries in /usr/X11R6/lib64 were rebuilt, but none, as far as I can tell, in /usr/X11R6/lib, where the 32-bit libraries are.
Any suggestions? Can I induce the build process to rebuild the 32-bit libraries? Why is this necessary--if the protocol is through a socket/pipe, why should the libraries need to updated? Isn't the "protocol" supposed to be independent of this, or is there some sort of accelerated protocol that is being used by default which requires fine-tuned consistency?
I haven't built the tree on this architecture yet, but the build system does have the ability to generate libraries against multiple libc ABI's. I don't know whether the x86_64 build takes avantage of this by default, but it is certainly possible to make it do so.
