No sound from 32-bit game on 64-bit linux

The subject says most of it. I have a game compiled on 32-bit Linux.
Installed on Fedora 17 64-bit I get no sound. It works fine on Ubuntu
12.04 64-bit, so I can only guess there’s some install problem I
haven’t figure out. If I compile as a 64-bit program on Fedora 17 it
works fine.

On Fedora 17, I have installed both 32 and 64-bit versions of SDL,
SDL_mixer, libogg, libvorbis, and libvorbisfile, which I believe is
all I should need for audio to work.

I’m all out of ideas. Anyone else have any?–

You might need to install the 32 bit alsa/pulseaudio libs.On Tue, Oct 23, 2012 at 7:20 PM, Terry Welsh wrote:

You nailed it. Thanks, drawoc.

Since different distros have different audio backends, it doesn’t look
like I can specify the necessary packages in the .rpm. This is
probably the best reason I have found to build a 64-bit version of my
game, but it would be unfortunate to go to all that trouble just to
work around packaging difficulties.–
