Use Cross-LFS to compile for 64-bit systems. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/clfs/ You probably want to compile a biarch system unless you know you will not need to run any 32-bit programs. There is no BLFS for the Athlon64, but in most cases, you only need to specify that you want 64-bit programs. I managed to get X11R6 compiled and running this morning, thanks to some help from others in Cross LFS. Most of the BLFS packages that I have built so far compile fine. Emacs says it doesn't recognize the architecture. expat wants to install into /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64, but that can be fixed by adding --libdir=/usr/lib64 I don't know if there is a 64-bit LiveCD yet. I used the LFS LiveCD to build my system. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
