Hi Sid, also to you like to all other nice people trying FGTools/Linux and giving feedback to me a big thank you for testing! > Reading from the digest, I'd advise against installing the 32-bit distro > on the 64-bit box. Yes, thank you for the advice. And it would be a shame as the 64bit system runs "like a rabbit". I am very satisfied with OpenSuse 10.1 x86_64 although it is pretty clear that (except the FGTools desaster) some "problems" with the O/S (better to say: some solutions to find) made me get some more gray hairs. :-) But I would not change back anymore. Never had such a stable system as the WinXP SP2 did not work very well with my new PC hardware. I had to use a new Sata hd combined with an old IDE hd because this has another 120 GB, I had some serious data losses with XP. Although I am now really *working* with the OpenSUSE system, trying a lot of the new stuff, setting up compilers and compiling systems (like for FlightGear), downloading a lot and making a lot of errors (means trouble for the O/S) as I am such a n00b I love the system for its *stability*, *security* and *trustworthiness*. No new thrilling information for an "old" Linux guy like most of you, but exciting for me :-) > If you can't get 32-bit binaries built, I'd say > forget it and let someone with the skills do it in c++.

They should know why my checking the "i386" compiler option did not work.Might be I have to install some other libraries (32bit) or something like that.

And Hal V. Engel did some more work behind that and wrote a very long list what did not work on his system even when he got it running due to unexpected dependencies. I thought it to be a complete "run alone" due to its big size (two times bigger than the "stand alone" Windows compile) but it is *not*. I now deleted the Linux stuff from my homepage until I get a 32bit working output sometimes in the future. Thank you once again, I learned a lot from this constructive feedback!
