No, you can not run 32 bit code in a 64 bit environment. You have to use emulated software, check out net-www/nspluginwrapper to get plugins working for Firefox

Hi all. I'm sure this question must have been answered before, but I am slowly giving up on finding the solution after months of browsing. Anyways, is it possible to emerge the same package in parallel? As 32-bit and 64-bit version? Something in the lines of: ABI="amd64,x86" emerge libxml2 or: emerge libxml2 ABI="x86" emerge --some-option-to-ignore-already-installed-package-and-not-remove-it libxml2 Namely, I am trying to compile openoffice (using ABI="x86") and some GTK themes. openoffice depends one some packages (libxml2, libz, ...) that need therefore need to exist in 32-bit and I'd like to have firefox (...and other 32bit apps) themed not just with themes that come with emul-* packages.
