Subject: [Qemu-devel] precompiled qemu-system-x86_64 is 32 bit instead of 64bit


I downloaded http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/qemu-0.9.1-i386.tar.gz
and I'm using an AMD Opteron.

Is this version the correct one for my system ?


If You want qemu for your amd64 linux system, You should compile it yourself or install from Your linux distribution repository. This site (http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/download.html) doesn't contain precompiled linux binaries except for i386 platform.
However You could execute i386 binaries on amd64 linux platform. :)

Why does it matter if it is 64-bit or not? Most programs at the moment don't benefit from being compiled 64-bit. I don't get the obsession with 64-bitness that most Linux and BSD people seem to have. I think workstation Unices like Solaris and IRIX get things right (only stuff that benefits from being 64-bit is 64-bit, the rest is 32-bit, so there is no need for separate 32- and 64-bit versions of the system, and fewer compatibility issues).
