Hi,

I get the following error messages when starting Opera from a terminal:

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded:
ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded:
ignored.
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module":
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class:
ELFCLASS64

Opera runs fine, but I was wondering what these messages mean? I am
running Linux Mint 7 64 bit.

These two can be ignored. (We really should fix this. But I've been
saying that for several years.) They are leftovers from a time when
java would crash when loaded from a program that used Xt but not motif.

A 32-bit program tries to load the libcanberra-gtk-module shared
library, which is a 64-bit library. The error message seems to indicate
that it is gtk that tries to load the library, so I would guess it is a
plug-in (or possibly a side effect of starting the plug-in wrapper
itself, if gtk always loads this library).

Hopefully, the plug-in will still work as long as it doesn't depend on
this module being successfully loaded.
