Bruce,
Thanks for responses.
I knew of 'lspci' and 'lsmod', did not know of 'lscpu'.....very cool!
Lot's of info.
Do not use the pdf for copy/paste. It is very problemmatic that you get
everything as is should be. Specifically the pdf sometimes adds spaces
after backslashes used for line continuation. That breaks the build.
Just the PDF, or from the web browser as well? Afraid of making typos
and hosing everything.
That's why I would copy/paste.....
Copy/paste from a browser works well.
It seems that although 'uname -a' reveals a 64 bit kernel my
environment is actually 32bit!
I did some Googling and it appears that an AMD 64bit kernel can run
32bit binaries.
Yes, any 64-bit system can run a 32-bit OS.
I, now, have a MUCH better understanding of what's going on.....I need a 64
version of Knoppix (or other Live distro) that actually has a 64bit kernel
AND a 64bit userland/dev setup.
Try Debian.

I suggest debian-8.4.0-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso. You will need to add some
packages after the base install -- g++, make, etc. See the version check
script is section vii to ensure you have everything, Don't for get teh
symlinks.
