What does uname -a say? If you're running a 32-bit kernel, then it's an i686-linux system, even if the CPU is 64-bit capable. This is a correct determination since you won't be able to run 64-bit programs. -- Eelco Dolstra | http://www.st.ewi.tudelft.nl/~dolstra/ _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
