Question: Am running an AMD 64 processor. There are still not all programs that are 64 bit. I know that the system will handle 32 bit stuff but I was wondering if an src file can be compiled to 64 bit. Why? Linux supports running 32bit apps in a 64bit system environment but *not* the other way round. And if you compile sources on a 64bit system you automatically get 64 bit apps.

Hi Philipp, Yes of course, you are correct. But it was only offered as a .686 version in 32 bit and I was afraid that might mess things up. You think it will work?

_I_ think it will either work, or fail very quickly. The most important Q is whether it's built for USUSE? If not, there may be other problems, whether you build it yourself or no.
