Hey guys, Assuming you have 32bit executable support built into your kernel ... What else do you need to get 32bit binaries to run ? The reason I ask is that vmware-tools 32bit binaries don't run on my CRUX-2.7 x86_64 install: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/325808/ What's more... vmware-tools isn't even trying to run the 64bit binaries at all making me thing that perl (as the installer and other scripts) aren't being told it's a 64bit system. In fact perl -V says: # perl -V | grep archname osname=linux, osvers=2.6.35.6, archname=linux-thread-multi config_args='-des -Dprefix=/usr -Dprivlib=/usr/lib/perl5/5.12 -Dsitelib=/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12 -Darchname=linux -Dman1ext=1pm -Dman3ext=3pm -Dman1dir=/usr/man/man1 -Dman3dir=/usr/man/man3 -Di_gdbm -Di_db -Duseshrplib -Dusethreads -Doptimize=-O2 -march=x86-64 -pipe -fPIC' # archname = linux-thread-multi If this means the system is a multi-lib system supporting both 32bit and 64bit - that's fine. But the vmware-tools 32bit binaries don't run (see paste). Help! cheers James -- -- James Mills -- -- "Problems are solved by method"
