arshadmomen Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Maybe this is problem with trivial solution but I am not sure how to get this done . Here is my problem : I finally got an Athton 64 machine and hurriedly installed the 10.1-rc1 ( can't afford the real thing ). Though the release has 3CD and thus some of the development stuff are missing - its not much of a trouble to get the srpms and compile them on the machine or install the precompiled ones from the official repositories. But soon I discover that not all the softwares have been ported to x86_64. Surely you can get the sources - but not all of them build. For instance, scilab-3.0 is available for 32bit machines - I tried building from the source with "rpm --rebuild " but build doesn't complete. I was wondering whether it is possible to run the scilab 32-bit binaries on this machine without booting with the x86 kernel ? The naive "rpm -ivh " replies that certain libs missing though their 64bit brothers are installed on the machine. Should I force the rpm ? What other possibilities exist? Help would be appreciated.
