I installed the x86_64 version of Arch, and I was looking at the wiki on running 32-bit apps in a 64-bit environment which seems what the multilib project/repo does. Though If I try and do pacman -S gcc-multilib gcc-libs-multilib binutils-multilib libtool-multilib lib32-glibc. Pacman gives me that binutils and binutils-multilib conflict. Do I let multilib's version replace it? Mainly I want to build i686/x86_64 packages and make sure they work fine on both architectures as well, maybe with running a few 32-bit only applications if I come across them.
Thanks
Sadly enough, its been a while since I've booted into a linux environment. (mostly because since xorg 1.6/kernel 2.6.26 my radeon 9800 just doesn't work all that well anymore.) But such queries might be answered better on the multilib mailinglist: http://mailman.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch-multilib Also, to answer your question: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=binutils+and+binutils-multilib+conflict Its the first result :) Gary.
