Gimphoto 1.4.3 for Linux 64 bit - Debian Package
Many Gimphoto users for Linux asking about 64 bit version, but because i still don't have 64 bit system so there is no 64 bit package yet.
For temporary solution we can use and install 32 bit package under 64 bit Linux system using command:
sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i
But it has limitations, said Andy Hepburn:
"While this does work, there are 2 problems:
- The package won't show up in Synaptic
- It doesn't check whether ia32-libs is installed on the system. If you don't have ia32-libs, GimPhoto probably won't run."
To help other Gimphoto users, Andy Hepburn also prepare Gimphoto for Linux 64 bit Debian Package and this is Andy explanation about it:
"I see some folks are wanting to run GimPhoto on 64-bit Linux. So, I've re-packaged it in a new .DEB file, with the architecture set as "amd64". Because it's still the same 32-bit binaries and libraries, I've also added the dependency on "ia32-libs" - so it will play nicely with package managers such as Synaptic."
