Adobe Air and TweetDeck

[Drew Tomlinson]

Has anyone had luck installing Adobe Air and TweetDeck on Gentoo?  I
followed
http://www.flashinthepan.ca/computer-tips/linux-computer-tips/adobe-air-on-gentoo-linux
to get the SDK installed and attempted to run TweetDeck 0.25.  It starts
but I get a lot of errors.  Has anyone had luck getting this working?

Thanks,

Drew

never heard of the product, but:

It's obviously complaining about missing libraries. Do these files exist
anywhere on your machine?

You may have to add entries to /etc/env.d and run env-update.
Looks like a classic case of Adobe *nix-cluelessness

This file does not exist.  I Googled in an attempt to find which port
contains this library but was unsuccessful.  However this bug report
suggests this is a cosmetic error only.

This is interesting:

 # find / -iname "libcanberra-gtk-module.so"
find: ftsfind.c:475: consider_visiting: Assertion `state.type != 0' failed.
Aborted
# find / -iname "libcanberra-gtk-module.so"
find: ftsfind.c:475: consider_visiting: Assertion `state.type != 0' failed.
Aborted

But I did find it here:

/usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so

What might I need to add?  I looked in the directory and found lots of
files.  Thus I suspect I need to create a file and add the proper line.
Would it be some sort of "LD_PATH=" line?

Combined with my classic *nix-cluelessness regarding libraries and
paths...  :)

Thanks for your help!

Yes, that's how you do it. env-update goes through all files it finds in
/etc/env.d/ and adds all the LDPATH statements together to create one large
environment variable. The order of these paths are important as they are
searched in the order they appear in the environment variable. So the files in
/etc/env.d/ have two digits in front of the name so you can order them the way
you want. Files starting with 00 are done first, 99 last

LDPATH works the same way as PATH, it just applies to finding libraries. PATH
applies to finding programs.

I've continued my search and think my problem is that I am running amd64
and Adobe Air is 32 bit.  Thus I am missing 32 bit versions of
libgnomebreakpad.so and libcanberra-gtk-module.so.  Can anyone tell me
how I might add these to my system?

Thanks,

Drew
