9 By default, Gentoo is multilib. Meaning it runs 32-bit software too.
10 What libraries does the tool need to run? You probably can build those
11 libraries with 32-bit support enabled.
12
13 So what error message do you get when you try to run the tool? We can
14 figure out which libraries it needs, and for those libraries you can
15 then enable the "abi_x86_32" USE flag in package.use.
16
17 On my system, I have that enabled for all libraries by default. My
18 package.use has this in it:
19
20 */* abi_x86_32
21
22 But you can just set it only for some packages if you don't want every
23 package (that supports this flag) to be also built for 32-bit.
