   Peter Weilbacher to All   
   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.
