This should not happen, see also /usr/src/tools/lib32/README for a little more informations: ---8<-------------------------------------------------------------- # $FreeBSD: src/tools/lib32/README,v 1.2 2004/11/25 04:25:21 peter Exp $ Set WITH_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf and do a buildworld / installworld. Alternatively, if you have just done a buildworld/installworld, you might be able to 'make build32' and 'make install32' in the top of the /usr/src tree. ---8<-------------------------------------------------------------- So I guess the steps which you have mention above will just work and not do any damage. bye Fabian
