Afaik ia64 can't compile 32bit binaries. The ia32-libs package source contains prebuild i386 debs that get unpacked to the right places and repackaged into ia32-libs and ia32-libs-dev. Same for ia32-libs-gtk. MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
