Installing specific 32-bit libs

Support
1

Hello,

I am new to OM, so far I am enjoying it but I’ve ran into a challange and I would like to ask here if there is a solution.

OpenMandriva Lx version: ROME 24.12
Desktop environment KDE

Description of the issue:

In order to get a specific game to run on Steam I usually need to install following lib32 packages:

  • lib32-libcurl-compat
  • lib32-libcurl-gnutls
  • lib32-openal

With dnf search I get no result, it does not find them in the repos.
Does anyone have a hint where I could get them from?

Thank you!

===============================================================

Later Edit: it seems though that using Legacy Runtime in Steam does the trick and I do not need to patch with the lib32’s like I was used to in my old archlinux installs.

I wanted to share this also, maybe it helps others like me.

The game in question is Civilization: Beyond Earth.
