I try to install mysql40-server, and other things for that matter, and the system complains that the package is for i386 machines. How do I get around this? I've spent hours and finally found this in the archives: You need to run /usr/src/tools/lib32/build32.sh with cwd set to /usr/src to build the 32-bit loader & basic libraries. Is this my answer? What is 'cwd set to /usr/src mean? Thanks. Ken
