Retropie-setup failed on ubuntu as it is unable to install mupen64plus-GlideN64

[geekomaniac]

Hi,

I am new to retropie installation but I am familiar with Linux. I am trying to install retropie on Ubuntu (Lubuntu to be specific but the problem persists on Ubuntu 16.04 as well) by using instructions from:
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Debian

While installing, the script fails as it can't install mupen64plus GlideN64 libraries The failure occurs when the script tries to look for libraries in following directory but finds it empty.

./RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/mupen64plus/GLideN64/projects/cmake/plugin/release

Here is the output of
$ uname -a
Linux retro-Aspire-R3610 4.13.0-21-generic #24-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 18 17:29:35 UTC 2017 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

Here is the detailed log of the installation:

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks

@geekomaniac Somehow the Glide64 plugin doesn't get linked:

[100%] Linking CXX shared library plugin/release/mupen64plus-video-GLideN64.so
/usr/bin/ld: i386:x86-64 architecture of input file `/home/retro/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/mupen64plus/GLideN64/src/GLideNHQ/lib/libpng.a(png.o)' is incompatible with i386 output

@mitu

Thanks for the response. Yes, I also saw this during installation, however I am not sure what could be going wrong here. Is this script issue or there is some dependency missing?

@geekomaniac Looks like an upstream bug. I suppose you don't have a x86_64 cross-compiler installed ?
