Thanks,Any suggestions of how to make 64 bit and 32 bit apps play nicely in Debian?I have a Debian testing amd64 laptop. Only testing, no unstable or experimental. I need to install ia32-libs to run eclipse in 32 bit mode for android development.Here is the output from trying to install ia32-libs in my machine....
However, I get a slew of conflicts, and it seems that aptitude wants to replace a lot of my 64 bit aps with 32 bit apps. Apps like gnome, gnome-core, empathy, etc. Is this normal or necessary?
I thought the ia32-libs was just supposed to help make it possible to run 32 bit apps on a 64 bit machine, not replace all the 64 bit apps with 32 bit apps. Is that correct?
root@orca:/home/mark# aptitude install ia32-libs
