I noticed that acroread is marked as being only for the i386 ... I have a question about that ... I'm a little new at running the amd64, but I thought that it was compatible (if it had the 32 bit libraries installed to support it) with i386, so I would have expected my amd64 machine to be ablel to run acroread with little trouble. The port being marked as"ONLY_FOR_ARCHS", well, I considered, *possibly*, that the port author hadn't had the testing capability, and maybe it did too work on the amd64. Anyone have more detailed info about that? Notice, I didn't mail to freeBSD-ports, I don't know how strict our mailing list filters are, I thought they'd probably kick me out if I tried to cross-post. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@chuckr.org | electronics, communications, and SF/Fantasy.
