Hi,Fedora is multi lib (provides both x86 and x86_64 libs ). RPM and Yum
I am looking for fedora 4 for x86-64 arch. Has anyone got the dvd or the
cd's?
I was wondering what is diffrent b/w this and the ordinary fedora
version. I mean is it just the kernel that is compiled with 64 bit
support (if thats the case cant we do that oursleves) or are all the
userland tools too compiled with 64 bit support?? Could someone
generally brief me on this.
works understands and install these packages appropriately (lib vs
lib64). Nearly all of the programs are under the x86-64 arch with some
exceptions like Openffice.org which isnt 64-bit clean yet. Appropriate
32-bit libs are installed automatically during installation and while
using yum.
Does this also mean that once i install the 64 bit version .. i willAll of the programs provided in Fedora repositories (Core+Extras) is
need to compile all the other programs myselves (as rpms for it maynot
be available??)
generally build against all the architectures maintained in Fedora (x86,
x86_64, PPC etc). Use yum install and groupinstall to install them.
