Well it wasn't in there. Also rpm -ql perl.i386 said it installed /usr/bin/perl! >> As is hinted to from http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=597448 do I >> have to build a 32 bit version of Perl for this 64 bit machine by >> hand or is there a way for 64 bit Perl and Inline::C to play nice and >> load 32 bit static libs? > I'm sure anything is possible but, afaik, the only practical way of > having Perl/Inline::C use 32-bit static libs is to use a 32-bit build > of perl with a 32-bit compiler (preferably the 32-bit compiler that > built that 32-bit perl). Is it possible to build a 32 bit perl on a 64 bit machine and tell it to install into /usr/local/bin? I tried that but ended up with a 64 bit executable nonetheless (it's been a long time since I've built a perl...). -- Andrew DeFaria <http://defaria.com> A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.Thread Previous | Thread Next
