Actually, there have been plans for doing something like this in Debian for a while: Let stuff live in /lib/i686-linux-gnu and /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu (lib32 and lib64 doesn't really scale, once you start considering stuff like "ia64 can emulate hppa"), and adjust paths and symlinks as fit. It's still a long way to go, though. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
