Re: [Help] Installing etch on dual opteron cluster head node

[Brian Oborn <oborbria@athena.physics.isu.edu>]

On our Opteron cluster I have a full Debian Sarge 64-bit install and a 
full Debian Sarge chroot on the head node. I've found that sometimes 
it's difficult (if not impossible) to compile 32-bit applications in the 
64-bit install because of odd library dependencies.
