I'm struggling to install the CERN library on my 64-bit laptop. I have been told by two people here who have already tried that they eventually gave up and had to replace the operating system in order to install the CERN library on a 32-bit machine. They told me all the errors I'm getting might as well be caused by my 64-bit laptop. Since the source code is available, I wonder IF it is possible to compile on a 64-bit machine. Maybe I'm missing the point. What are the issues at compiling source code for 32- versus 64-bit architectures ? Thank you in advance. Maura

I have written a white paper on 32-bit to 64-bit issues. http://www.hp.com Click on Linux Resources - you will see Tux's smiling face on the right hand side, then click on "Porting 64-bit Linux on HP Integrity Servers".

Got to agree there just had a good look and cant find nowt about Linux resources on the site . Mind you i never got any help trying to install Linux on my brand new Presario V5030 laptop from them either had i know the sort of response i got i would have purchased another brand . Pete . -- The Labour party has changed there emblem from a rose to a condom as it more accuratley reflects the governments political stance. A condom allows for inflation halts production destroys the next gereration, protects a bunch of pricks, and givesyou a sense of security while you are actually bieng fucked from GSM

You will not get any help from Dell, Gateway, EMachines, Lenovo, Sony, or Toshiba either. There are a couple of companies that do provide Linux preinstalled on laptops, but none of the major vendors do.
Actually, HP has a page where they list laptops that are certified with
Linux. There is the URL for the SuSE certification.
http://h10018.www1.hp.com/wwsolutions/linux/products/clients/clientscert-sus...
It would be nice if HP (and other vendors) would support Linux on their
retail products, but there are some very good business reasons why they
are not.
BTW: HP (through their Digital purchase) has been involved with Linux
and Linus Torvalds since 1993.
