The simplest approach would probably be to do the compilation on a 32-bit system and just install it on 64-bit. There are some magic flags, yes; you'll need to Google using e.g. "linux force 32-bit compile". -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "Many customs in this life persist because they ease friction and promote productivity as a result of universal agreement, and whether they are precisely the optimal choices is much less important." --Henry Spencer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
