Pure64 is primarily made only for 64 bit. Any 32bit support comes as an afterthought. Because of various reasons lib64 is a link to lib so your idea won't work. But there is no problem with your idea, just with the directory names. You can use /emul/ia32-linux/lib (as the ia32-libs, ia32-libs-dev and ia32-libs-openoffice.org packages already do). The drawback of this method is that you can't just "apt-get install foobar" to install a 32bit package. > This way, I could have a true hybrid system, with some 32bits binaries and > some 64bits binaries sharing the same filesystem and hardware devices, > without the need of "duplicated" binaries. > > Please, somebody correct me if I'm geting things wrong. > > Thanks in advance for your help, and keep up the good work! > > Ildefonso.
