I'm not sure what the whole 'masked' thing means (I'm not a linux user),
but I've used gEDA for years on a 64-bit system (alpha) with no problems
so I'd be suprised if it didn't work correctly on AMD64. I know for a
fact it at least builds on AMD64 running NetBSD, but I don't have one to
try running it on.
You may have issues with some of the dependencies. I know that us alpha
users have had to fix countless bugs in 3rd party software. gEDA should
be fairly 64-bit clean though.

Hi All
I was wondering if the Geda suit is gonna be ported for AMD64, I know
its in the Gentoo portage but its masked off as unstable buggy or
something.
this is what i get
BusyBox64 ~ # emerge geda
Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "geda" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
request:
- sci-electronics/geda-20041228 (masked by: missing keyword)
- sci-electronics/geda-20040111-r1 (masked by: missing keyword)
- sci-electronics/geda-20050313 (masked by: missing keyword)
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
BusyBox64 ~ #
its been like this for months
