|    From no-multilib to multilib    |
|    19 Mar 09 09:51:59    |
      From: newsspam@weilbacher.org              When I installed a new machine I chose the amd64 no-multilib profile and was       happy       so far. The only thing that I missed a few times was acroread. But now I       discovered       that one external program needs 32bit libs, and as I need to use that quite a       bit       I have to convert this system.              Unfortunately, emerging gcc and glibc with multilib support appears to be a       circular       dependency. (With gcc I get errors about a missing gnu/stubs-32.h and if I copy       the related files to my system from somewhere else, it only finds incompatible       libc.*       files when linking. glibc in turn does not find a working preprocessor...)              Is there a guide how to do from no-multilib to multilib somewhere or is it       impossible       and I have to install afresh?              Thanks in advance for any hints,        Peter.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
