Linux: 64-bit woes/questions

I’ve always run 32-bit everything (linux), but just installed 64-bit ubuntu + 64-bit renoise on a laptop.

  1. is it correct that my 32-bit plugins won’t run in 64 bit? https://www.renoise.com/download hint’s at this, but it’s not clear to me…

  2. I then wanted to switch back to 32-bit renoise. ran the uninstaller, which reported SUCCEEDED + some errors. Now 32-bit renoise won’t run, I get /usr/local/bin/renoise: No such file or directory, although the symlink in /usr/local/bin/renoise seems to be fine. What to do?

As far as the first question goes, you should be able to run 32 bit plugins in 64 bit renoise.

The second, I’m not sure it sounds strange that it says it doesn’t exist if you have verified that it does. Maybe uninstall it, manually check all symlinks and files have been removed and reinstall.

I don’t get it:

atte@vestbjerg:~$ renoise-3.1.0
bash: /usr/local/bin/renoise-3.1.0: No such file or directory
atte@vestbjerg:~$ file /usr/local/bin/renoise-3.1.0

Installation of Renoise 3.1.0 SUCCEEDED.
atte@vestbjerg:~/software/shared/renoise/rns_3_1_0_linux_x86$ renoise
bash: ./renoise: No such file or directory
atte@vestbjerg:~/software/shared/renoise/rns_3_1_0_linux_x86$ ./renoise
bash: ./renoise: No such file or directory

What happens if you:

cd /usr/local/bin
./renoise-3.1.0

Maybe give the output of:

ls -la /usr/local/bin | grep -i renoise

Also, just for good measure:

echo $PATH

I wonder if it is a permissions issue or a PATH issue.

maybe reinstall 32-bit renoise? i would figure that uninstall of 64bit Renoise will remove…

EDIT: sorry, stupid question/tip, i haven’t seen that you actually installed the 32-bit. how can I delete my post?
