Hi Mark, As it won't work on my Gentoo amd64 I made the test on a SuSE (I have not converted to Gentoo on the laptop yet because I could not get hibernation to work correctly). It was as easy as: install rpm with Yast, run the config script, install a virtual machine. I have no experience with chroot'ed environments (except for the one I used while setting up Gentoo), so I can't answer your question. The ebuild emerges correctly, the problem is when you run the configure script that should compile the module - so I'd guess this is a problem relatd to the fact that /lib does not point to 32 bit libraries. As far as a chroot'ed environments supplies the right libraries it should work. Thierry -- The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
