What Mark said. To try and boost your comfort level, know that many of us regularly load both versions of many libraries. I have yet to experience any problem from that because the 64-bit flavor is always reliably addressed along a different file path. 32-bit programs run just fine on a 64-bit Linux. I find this to be true for both PC and "z". What a 32-bit program cannot do is load a 64-bit shared library. So you need the relevant 32-bit shared libs if you're running a 32-bit app. Common practice. -- R; <>< Rick Troth Velocity Software http://www.velocitysoftware.com/ On Wed, May 25, 2011 at 10:31, Shedlock, George <gshedl...@aegonusa.com> wrote: > Does anyone know if I can install both the 64 bit and 32 bit versions of the > same library on a given guest? > > The case in point is a particular vendor product.
