I don't seem to be quite getting how the multilib thing works (really, the benefit in it). I've just done the upgrade from 2004.3 -> 2005.0 multilib. Now, I thought that meant I could just "emerge epiphany netscape-flash" to get a 32bit epiphany (and properly compile anything below that) and grab the flash plugin and whee, off to homestarrunner.com. Didn't work, so I tried recompiling mozilla as well. Still no luck. So, I give up on that and try to check a bug in a program I'm hand compiling, so I throw -m32 onto the compile command line. Doesn't work, can't find a compatible libz. So, I tell it explicitly to look in /lib, and I do a "ABI=x86 emerge zlib". Still doesn't work (can't find compatible libqt...recompile that too,and everything on down?), and then all my 64bit compiled apps don't work (can't find libz.so.1). My question is: Can I get the 64bit and 32bit libs to play together? And get other apps to use them? How do I get the apps 32bits where they need to be? Do I have to recompile? Or since I just want a few apps 32bit, should I just go to 2005.0 nomultilib since everything works fine there and I won't have to recompile everything?
