amd64 installation

[Alastair Basden <a g basden durham ac uk>]

Hi,
I'm trying to install gtk 2.6 on an AMD64 machine, which has suse 
enterprise linux installed (and gtk 2.0).  However, after doing all the 
installations (including xft etc), gtk-demo isn't running.

I get a message printed:
(gtk-demo:24449): Pango-WARNING **: Cannot open font file for font Luxi 
Sans 8
Segmentation fault


Doing an strace gives (last few lines):

open("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW/XftCache", O_RDONLY) = 4
fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=8676, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 
0x2a95571000
read(4, "\"p052024l.pfb\" 0 \"URW Palladio L"..., 4096) = 4096
read(4, "=0:outline=True:scalable=True\"\n\""..., 4096) = 4096
read(4, "shey\\\\-Gothic\\\\-English:style=Re"..., 4096) = 484
read(4, "", 4096)                       = 0
close(4)                                = 0
munmap(0x2a95571000, 4096)              = 0
open("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW/n019003l.pfb", O_RDONLY) = 4
fcntl(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)           = 0
fstat(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=36026, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 36026, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 4, 0) = 0x2a95571000
close(4)                                = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++


Can anyone give me advice on how to get it working?  I think part of the 
problem is that sometimes, it uses the older version libraries, and there 
may also be a problem with confusing the 32 and 64 bit libraries.  (at the 
moment I'm only trying to install a 64 bit version).

Thanks,
