Have you considered employing the alternatives system (or something similar)? What I'm suggesting is that you'd basically get a /bin64 and a /bin32, where binaries install themselves in /bin by default but divert to the /binXX when both versions are installed, and use symlinks in an update-alternatives way to select the default. -- Fun will now commence -- Seven Of Nine, "Ashes to Ashes", stardate 53679.4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
