Is there a way to build i386 ports on a amd64 machine so that they will *run* on the same machine? I can fiddle with individual programs and make them work by copying required shared libs to /usr/lib32 etc. but I am hoping for a painless solution! Ideally almost all 386 pkgs should just install and work. Second, why does ldd fail on 32 bit binaries? As I understand it, ldd simply runs the program being ldd'ed after setting some env. variables. So may be the fix is not too hard.... We need a i386 binaries on amd64 FAQ page! Thanks! -- bakul
