1. you might want to install glibc-devel.i386 (even if you’re on x64) to fix this problem

   1. Worked great but grabbed 686 version:
      yum -y install glibc-devel.i686 on RHEL 6

      1. Thanks dude. It helped me to resolve a conflict in CentOS6 (x86_64).

      2. Thank you very much!

      3. Hi,
         It worked for me. I was trying to compile 32 bit version but my system is x86_64. I got the same issue. and installed
         sudo yum -y install glibc-devel.i686

         then finally able to compile and generate executable.

         Thanks
         Arul

      4. Doesn’t work for me on RHEL6.2. I get:

         # yum -y install glibc-devel.i686
         Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, security, subscription-manager
         Updating certificate-based repositories.
         ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/6Server/en/os/SRPMS/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 9 – “Server denied you to change to the given directory”
         Trying other mirror.
         Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rhel-source-beta. Please verify its path and try again

         I ftp’ed to http://ftp.redhat.com, and there is no en/ dir under 6Server. I navigated to the SRPM directory, and there is no glibc-devel* packages there at all.

         Ideas anybody?

      5. It works for me, many thanks to you.

2. On ubuntu 64-bit version, solution is:
   sudo apt-get install g++-multilib

   1. Thanks Alex, that did it for me. My Makefile passes -m32 to the compiler and linker.

   2. That worked for me too. Thanks.

   3. Thanks

      1. Thanks, worked for me too :)

   4. Thanks! That woked. ;)

   5. Thanks !

3. Sweet! Thanks! Works perfectly on Ubuntu 8.04 with the -m32 gcc option now!

4. Alex, thanks!

5. for Debian 5 64bit installing package: libc6-dev-i386 with its dependencies helped

6. i m facing d same problem..wen i tries to do wat u said it showed
   Package glibc-devel-2.12-3.x86_64 already installed and latest version
   still its giving the same error..wat 2 do??

7. Try installing glibc-devel.i686

   I’ve had to do that even with the 64 bit stuff already installed to fix the problem.

8. Thanks Vivek. Sweet and smooth

9. Hello,

   I’m encountering same pb under my 64bit Fedora 14 although it seems I’ve succesffully installed relevant packages being suggested previously (as it is reported
   by doing a “rpm -qa | grep -i glibc”) :

   rpm -qa | grep -i glibc
   glibc-headers-2.13-1.x86_64
   glibc-2.13-1.x86_64
   glibc-common-2.13-1.x86_64
   glibc-devel-2.13-1.x86_64
   glibc-2.13-1.i686

   So, what to do now ?
   Thanks a lot in advance for any solution / anymore suggestion.
   Kind regards.

   1. Try installing glibc-devel.i386 package.

10. Hello again,
    I made a mistake in my previous post !
    I’m clearly missing the “glibc-devel-2.13-1.i686” (or glibc-devel-2.13-1.i386 ?) package…
    So, I surfed to Fedora website and googled the Net… But where shall I exactly
    look for this missing rpm file to be able to install it ?
    All links that I found are strange and unusable “.rpm.html” files/links, hu ?
    Where can I find the required rpm file ?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Alain-Pierre

    1. Use yum command to search and install the same. No need to Google it. Here are commands:

       ## search to get exact package name
       yum search glibc-devel
       ## install it
       yum install glibc-devel.i386 glibc-devel.x86_64
       

       1. can’t find what is glibc-devel.i386 ?

          yum search glibc-devel
          Modules complémentaires chargés : langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
          Adding fr_FR to language list
          ============================= Matched: glibc-devel =============================
          glibc-devel.i686 : Object files for development using standard C libraries.
          glibc-devel.x86_64 : Object files for development using standard C libraries.
          

          So, just installed glibc-devel.i686.

          But now, when trying to compile & link the Qt “weathertrayicon” example application in 32bit target mode with Qt Creator (with choosing the “-spec linux-g++-32” option in the compiling/linking build steps), here is what I’m obtaining :

          anymore idea / suggestion ?

          Regards,

          Alain-Pierre

          1. Sorry, I missed your first post.

             You need to search and install rest of the QT related libs too.

             1. No idea anymore on my side,
                I don’t know what should be done with Qt packages & libraries,
                tried same operations on 64bit Ubuntu 10.10 and 64bit Fedora 14,
                not exactly same results on these 2 “equivalent” linux platforms,
                but both having some trouble with generating 32bit target application
                when forcing the “-spec linux-g++-32” mode for qmake/make to let
                gcc “-m32” compiling & linking option…
                What I can say at this point is that Qt technical teams seem not to be
                as collaborative as we could expect, because having posting a “bug report” about Qt Creator on their side, I have received a quite “direct” answer from them like that : “there is no bug in Qt Creator, our bug reporting system is not a help system ! Problem seems to be on Ubuntu side”…
                arrgggghhhhhhh
                So, what to do ? Where can be the incriminated missing “QtCore/qconfig-i386.h” include file ? And, may be, this file is not the unique missing one…
                I didn’t find that file at all, although I think my Qt Creator and Qt library & framework installation and setup is ok (standard installation and setup of relevant DEB/Ubuntu or RPM/Fedora packages) on my two 64bit linux platforms (Ubuntu 10.10 & Fedora 14).
                Very, very annonying.

                Kind regards.

                Alain-Pierre

                1. Look at this : beginning of this story, and answer from Qt team…

11. Thank you, it helped me a lot!

13. This can also happen when cross compiling as well when the preprocessor is looking for header files that are absent in it’s “staging” area.

14. Hi,

    After installation when i provide ./nicstat.sh then it gives me below error on CentOS machine.

    ./nicstat.sh: can not find platform executable

    How could i resolve this issue. Appreciate your help.
