I'd be interested in the error in config.log Anyhow, you can override this easily by prepeding your build commands with the sparc32 command. E.g. # sparc32 ./configure # sparc32 make I've also added a "permanent" override that will be coming in the next, for those that wish to do a system-wide override. You can just touch /etc/disable_64_gcc, and all the defaults will be -m32. -- Debian - http://www.debian.org/ Linux 1394 - http://www.linux1394.org/ Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/ WatchGuard - http://www.watchguard.com/
