Thanks for the fast reply. So what is the likelihood of adding the capability to force 64-bit builds to fink (e.g. in fink.conf)? Is this post sufficient as a request, or is there another forum for requesting new features? Actually, does the current policy even make sense? If a package can ask fink not to build 32-bit, why can't the user? And if the user can't request it to start with, when would a package EVER not build 32-bit? Or are there 64-bit-only packages? If the answer to the last question is "yes", how can I get a list of those packages? I want to know if any of them can help me install 64-bit versions of openmotif3 and gfortran. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
