Is this true on FreeBSD? If so, is the port collection set up so that known problem 64bit ports only compile under i386? How do I know whether a port or binary is i386 or 64 bit? with the port I suppose the Makefile would tell me Is there a switch that will allow me to choose either i386 or 64 bit when compiling a port? If these kinds of questions are answered in a FAQ or handbook section, please point me in the right direction. Otherwise after I figure all of this out I would not mind writing it all up myself. Rob
