That just means that the USE flag, i.e. the ability to choose, is disabled. Unless you select the no-multilib profile, you always get multilib. Same for the x86 assembler flags: If there is x86_64 assembler, it will be used in any case. > Second, as I understand the purpost of multilib is to enable of using > 32bit apps without a chroot. Does this mean that I can compile > openoffice now? That for, you need also all the libs which openoffice depends on. Doing this with portage will horribly mess up your system for now, because portage lacks the ability to differenciate 32bit and 64bit libraries. Better you wait for openoffice-2.0 which also runs native on amd64, IIRC. Greetings, blubb -- [email protected] mailing list
