Although I still don't understand the objection to 32 bit libraries. It's not like the multilib kludge with binary blobs, these are libraries compiled by source to fulfil a specific need, exactly like any other library. -- Neil Bothwick WinErr 018: Unrecoverable error - System has been destroyed.

It has a missing character, more precisely, the quote mark before 32. One thing about grep, if you grep for something that isn't typed correctly, it gives you nothing or something that is not what you were looking for. lol Dale :-) :-)

Thanks Nikos, thanks Neil. With your help I've managed to get rid of all 32bits libraries. I still unsure what to do for the "second step". If possible, I'd like to install any packages with abs_x86_32 which are required for dev-util/android-sdk-update-manager and app-text/acroread with a different PREFIX, such as /usr/local . Is that possible? Many thanks, Helmut

What is your rationale for wanting to do that? acroread and android-sdk-update-manager need 32 bit libs. Portage will create them for you quite happily and they have to go somewhere. Why do you want them in a different PREFIX? If it's strict separation you are after, is /lib32 and /usr/lib32 not separate enough for you? It seems odd to me to take libs that the package manager is very efficient at creating, and ut them in /usr/local - the one area that package managers by convention never touch. I can't grok what you are trying to accomplish. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

I wouldn't mind getting away from the 32 bit stuff myself but it may be to early yet. Maybe later. At least I know I have a lot of them now tho. ;-) Dale :-) :-)

I have 118 here. The total number of packages is just over 1300. I recently switched to 13.0/desktop/plasma profile. Maybe that will help shed some light on your situation. Maybe it is a setting or something. Dale :-) :-)
