That worked! Updated my PKGBUILD file to arch=("any") and it built an any package and installed it. Wireless is working now. I didn't know I could change the architecture like that and it have any effect. thanks falconindy!

This package has no architecture -- nothing is compiled. Please mark it as arch=('any')

Reported bug. Thanks for the advice. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28667 If you upload a 64bit build of the package to github, I could grab it from there perhaps? Or wherever :-) https://github.com/mrjabba Thanks for your help. It is much appreciated.

Ensure that these two lines are enabled in your "/etc/makepkg.conf" file: CARCH="x86_64" CHOST="x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" If that doesn't fix it, re-perform the steps outlined on the following webpage: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Migrating_Between_Architectures_Without_Reinstalling Let me know if these suggestions - and the bug report advice - have no effect.

Yeah, I agree. Something is not right. I did as you asked. PKGBUILD now reads: arch=("x86_64") I ran makepkg -s again Then I get this: ==> ERROR: b43-firmware is not available for the 'i686' architecture. Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD such as arch=('i686'). You'd think that would read as x86_64, not i686 given the previous messages. I will file a bug report. I'll start looking over my config files more too. Maybe I missed something.

I think the problem has to be caused by one of your configuration files. Perhaps just remove "i686" from the 'arch' array in the PKGBUILD and rebuild the package. Let me know if this doesn't work-around the problem and I'll upload a 64-bit package for you somewhere. In the meantime, I advise you to lodge a bug report for the maintainers of 'pacman'.

Thanks. Actually, I show the same list with pacman -Qs gcc I updated my info here to avoid duplication. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1062104#p1062104 I'm beginning to consider buying a USB adapter for a few days.

I just rebuilt this package on my 64-bit machine without any problems. FYI, I had the following 'gcc' packages installed at build-time: `--> packer-color -Qs gcc local/gcc-libs-multilib 4.6.2-7 Runtime libraries shipped by GCC for multilib local/gcc-multilib 4.6.2-7 (multilib-devel) The GNU Compiler Collection - C and C++ frontends for multilib local/lib32-gcc-libs 4.6.2-7 Runtime libraries shipped by GCC (32-bit)

Is anyone getting an invalid architecture message when trying to install this package on 64bit? I even have multi-lib installed. I've been trying to get help in the forum. But maybe this is a better place to ask the question? Thanks if you can point me in the right direction. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1059490#p1059490 package b43-firmware-5.100.138-1-i686 does not have a valid architecture
