It doesn't work. When I try to install the renamed rpm, I get a message that the mysql-shared package is already installed. There is something inside the RPM file to say this is mysql-shared not mysql-shared-32bit.
I will try to modify a .spec file to properly name a shared-32bit package. Perhaps this is where Novell should supply multiple .spec files in the src.rpm or provide a single .spec file that completely recreates their distributed binaries. /Tom Kern --------Original Message------------ From: Mark Post <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Recompiling MySQL >>> On 2/3/2009 at 10:50 AM, Thomas Kern <[email protected]> wrote:=20 -snip- > How does the -32bit file get built?

I did an "rpm -qip" against the normal and = -32bit RPMs, and they were built on different days, on different machines: Release : 12.18 Build Date: Mon 21 Apr 2008 = 11:40:47 PM EDT Install Date: (not installed) Build Host: s390z16.suse.de Release : 12.18 Build Date: Tue 22 Apr 2008 = 02:52:15 AM EDT Install Date: (not installed) Build Host: s390a02.suse.de It may be that the "s390" command was used to do the rpm build on a 64-bit = system, but I've never used that.
