I thought that the standard advice on these is to run the 32 bits applications in a 32 bits chroot, as suggested by the ia32-libs package. I don't use any commercial applications my self, so (for me) this is only theory, I've got no practical experience. -- Basile STARYNKEVITCH http://starynkevitch.net/Basile/ email: basile(at)starynkevitch(dot)net 8, rue de la Faïencerie, 92340 Bourg La Reine, France -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
