Libbsd is not required, but yes, libnuma is, so you do need a 32-bit libnuma (devel) installed to run this test. I would expect that to be available on most distros though. I'm open to suggestions as to how to make this optional, but I do think that sanity checking 32-bit is good practice to avoid errors, e.g. those wonderful printf format strings for uint64_t. /Bruce
