I have a new (first) gentoo amd64 install, multilib, and have been |
2 |
searching the docs, forums and google for information on how to handle |
3 |
emerges for 32bit programs on the 64bit install. |
4 |
|
5 |
I have found some references to using -bin for 32bit programs (example: |
6 |
"emerge wine-bin" to get the 32bit version or "emerge wine" to get the |
7 |
64 bit version) but I haven't been able to get that to work; emerge |
8 |
wine-bin returns: 'emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "wine-bin".' |
9 |
Searches didn't turn up examples or explanations to help me find what I |
10 |
am doing wrong. |
11 |
|
12 |
I also found references to making a chroot environment to use when |
13 |
running the 32bit programs, but they all made it sound like a short step |
14 |
from a dualboot - that I would not be able to use anything in my 64bit |
15 |
environment while that was running. For example, having a 32bit program |
16 |
running in windowed mode through wine while I have 64 bit work programs |
17 |
running on the same desktop, or 32 bit firefox (for flash) with the rest |
18 |
of the system 64bit. |

The information must be in the documentation somewhere, but I am failing |
21 |
at finding the correct search terms to get me information newer than |
22 |
2005-2007. Thanks for any help you can give. |
