Re: libimf.so

Hi Frencesco:

If you could tell us a bit more details on the application your are 
installing and where you get it, that would help.  It is likely that you 
are installing a program which has been compiled for Intel architecture on 
your amd64 machine.  Likely the Intel compiler would build for the i386 
libraries only (they wouldn't support an AMD chip in native mode, would 
they?).  in addition, you are running amd64 which makes the chip 
incompatible with Intel.  If you put an i386 distribution on your machine, 
it is possible that the program will run.  I could test it but I need to 
know which program you are using.
