On a Fedora Core 4 x86_64 system the following packages are installed: (These are the official Fedora packages, not the samba.org fedora packages) samba.x86_64 samba-client.x86_64 samba-common.x86_64 samba-common.i386 samba-swat.x86_64 Note that for samba-common, both the x86_64 and the i386 packages are installed. Questions: Why does Fedora do this? Is it really necessary? I ask because I recently thought I would download the latest Fedora Core 5's src rpm and rebuild it on Fedora Core 4, but when I did it built all x86_64 rpms and did not build the i386 rpm. I'm wondering if it matters. Thanks, Mark

If you are using any 32bit applications on your x86_64, then it does not matter. You should be able to build i386 packages on x86_64 by running "rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i386 <samba.src.rpm>" cheers, jerry ====================================================================Samba ------- http://www.samba.org Centeris ----------- http://www.centeris.com "What man is a man who does not make the world better?" --Balian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFF21M4IR7qMdg1EfYRAkkRAJ9v96BevGTjH8dUy1fOVDHp2VbRhACg3t6g ieI5C4hmv0Blv6LiQL5oHd4=ppnw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
