Next problem. The Icarus Verilog simulation engine wants the readline package for the vvp program. If I'm gonna succeed at making a vvp32 for AMD64, I'm going to need readline-32bits and readline-32bits-devel packages. I'd be willing to have a go at this myself. Is there a standard way to do this?
Hmm, readline is a package already provided by SuSE. If you would go and make your own, it's likely that it will conflict with that one. The 32bit runtime version is already included in baselibs-32bit. You would only need the 32bit -devel rpm, and if you already have the (64 bit) readline-devel rpm installed (so that you already have all necessary headers), all you need is the .so link in /lib to make the linker find the library also in 32 bit mode. You would miss the static library, but that might be acceptable. I.e. all you probably have to do is install baselibs-32bit, and % cd /lib % ln -sf libreadline.so.4.3 libreadline.so % ln -sf libhistory.so.4.3 libhistory.so Ciao, Michael.
