12 Did you check with "eix --print ARCH"? I start suspecting that it's not
13 the value of environment variable "ARCH" but rather what the command
14 "arch" is returning.
15
16 And on my laptop that's still
17
18 $ arch
19 x86_64
20 $
21
22 even though I followed the instructions at
23
24 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:Main_Page
25
26 which says: "The two most prominent architectures in the desktop world
27 are the x86 architecture and the x86_64 architecture (for which Gentoo
28 uses the amd64 notation) ... A note for new Gentoo users: if the CPU is
29 less than five years old and the manufacturer is either Intel or AMD,
30 choosing the AMD64 Handbook is probably the correct route".
31
32 Did I overlook something during my initial install? Is there a way to
33 teach the kernel to have "arch" output "amd64"?
34
35 Slightly worried by now :-(
36
37 Sincerely,
38 Rainer
