Building a 32-bit *STAND ALONE* program in a pure 64-bit environment is easy. Pale Moon links against various external libs (gtk, glibc, dbus, etc). Building 32-bit in a 64-bit environment can be done, but it requires pulling in a bunch of 32-bit libraries. For example see... https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Build_Instructions/Compiling_32-bit_Firefox_on_a_Linux_64-bit_OS Rather than keeping track of a mish-mash of 32- and 64-bit libraries on the same system, it's cleaner, simpler, and easier run a pure 32-bit VM or chroot on a pure 64-bit host. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
