1 I have xulrunner installed on my x86 and amd64 machines. When I tried
2 to install acroread on the amd64, it wanted to pull in xulrunner-bin.

4 Sure enough the ebuild contains
5
6 RDEPEND="media-libs/fontconfig
7 cups? ( net-print/cups )
8 x86? ( >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.0
9 ldap? ( net-nds/openldap )
10 !minimal? ( || ( net-libs/xulrunner
11 net-libs/xulrunner-bin
12 www-client/mozilla-firefox
13 www-client/seamonkey
14 www-client/seamonkey-bin ) ) )
15 amd64? ( >=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-2.4.2
16 >=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-2.0
17 !minimal? ( || ( net-libs/xulrunner-bin
18 www-client/seamonkey-bin ) ) )"

22 So for amd64 we need (assuming not a minimal install) some emulation.
23 OK.
24
25 But why are the -bin packages good and the compile-from-source not good?

27 thanks,
