heh, not too late, am not *that* impulsive - but I don't see why this will mess things up ? Surely thats exactly what I want to happen, for /usr/lib to become 64 bit to go with the binaries which will aalso become 64 bit. This isn't a running system bear in mind - it a disc from another system which is mounted on a separte machine running 64 bitA, so theres no issue with the binaries needing to run during the changeover. > Most all old 32 bit ports should work but upgrading them can > mess things up.

Save it in ~/bin/ldd32. thats useful, thanks! -pete. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
