Same thing happens on RHEL4, and it confused me at first. Shared libraries & such are installed twice, so you can run both 32 and 64 bit binaries on the 64 bit versions. The 32 bit libraries go in /usr/lib, and the 64 bit ones in /usr/lib64.
This can produce some interesting problems if package builders aren't aware that 's390x' is a 64-bit arch. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Levy, Alan Sent: Thursday, December 21, 2006 1:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LINUX-390] sles 10 install - 32 bit packages I noticed that while the software packages were being installed, there were a lot of packages that said 32 bit. Can someone tell me what they are used for ? Can I deselect them from the software ? Will I be able to run applications that I am currently running on sles9 31 bit ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 -------------------------------------------------------- If you are not an intended recipient of this e-mail, please notify the sender, delete it and do not read, act upon, print, disclose, copy, retain or redistribute it.
