Portage ought to ask you to add abi_x86_32 in package.use for the packages |
| 12 |
that need it. |

Hmm ... I don't think setting abi_x86_32 globally is necessary, unless you |
| 21 |
want to have 32bit libs for ALL packages that these exist for, whether you use |
| 22 |
them or not. I mean that for Skype you have no alternative at present, but if |
| 23 |
you don't use Skype then you would not need the 32bit versions of Skype's |
| 24 |
dependencies. If my understanding is wrong, Alan will soon put me right on |
| 25 |
this. :-) |
