Portage ought to ask you to add abi_x86_32 in package.use for the packages that need it. > > Setting the flag globally is covered in today's news item on the matter, > > so I assume the devs are supporting it > > Did that now, yes ... Hmm ... I don't think setting abi_x86_32 globally is necessary, unless you want to have 32bit libs for ALL packages that these exist for, whether you use them or not. I mean that for Skype you have no alternative at present, but if you don't use Skype then you would not need the 32bit versions of Skype's dependencies. If my understanding is wrong, Alan will soon put me right on this. :-) -- Regards, Mick
