hello
i have a kext (or, rather, 2 kexts - one built with -arch i386, another one
with -arch x86_64). They should work on both OS X 10.5 and 10.6.
i have an installing script, which looks like
if [ `uname -a | grep x86_64 | wc -l` ge 1 ]; then
   cp -R "64bit.kext" "/Library/Extensions/"
else
   cp -R "32bit.kext" "/Library/Extensions/"

this goes into production code.
But unfortunately, it seems like it does not work well on all systems.
What caveats may this method of determining the bitness of the system have?
It works fine on my Leopard and Snow Leopard (even though my Snow Leo runs
in 32 bit mode), but other people complain that the driver is not being
installed.
Maybe some instances of the system are missing any of the command line
utilities i used?
Could you suggest a better way of determining the bitness of the kernel?
Thanks for any advice!
