List: I installed SUSE 8 with kernel: Linux localhost 2.4.21-127-smp #1 SMP Thu Oct 16 11:55:00 UTC 2003 x86_64 unknown However, when I compiled 32-bit on this OS, I got : /usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.2.2/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libm.a when searching for -lm When I did :

gcc -m32 -print-search-dirs

install: /usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.2.2/ programs: =/usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.2.2/:/usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.2.2/:/usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/:/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/3.2.2/:/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/: So the question is that whether there are packages that creates directory : /usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.2.2/ If so, what are they? If not, how can I change the order of the paths so that /usr/lib/... dirs are before /usr/lib64/... Then the 32-bit libraries will be used. Thanks in advance. Qinghuai
