In fact, configure errors out because it cannot find the 32 bit libc, which doesn't exist on an LFS 64-bit system that was compiled purely for 64 bit. So the configure script cannot handle those flags. What I have resorted to is attempting to compile it on a fedora core 8 platform. Unfortunately, this isn't creating static libraries - it still requires some 32-bit shared objects, which means I cannot run it on the 64 bit to install it there. Am I going to have to run another distribution's rescue prompt and manually install it from there? Joe
