I don't have access to an Itanium system (there's none in the
SourceForge Compile Farm) so much of what you're asking is
beyond me. I also don't know what IPF is.
Your question is not completely clear to me in that I don't
understand exactly what the conflict is. Are you trying to
make a 32-bit LessTif work with 64-bit X ? Or do you have
two versions of LessTif (one 32-bit, one 64-bit) on the system?
Also I would think that you can rebuild binary RPMs from the source on
an Itanium system, and you should get 64-bit a version. Isn't that
so ?
I'm CC-ing the mailing list on my reply, maybe someone else can help.
