AFAIK this is different to some other major Distros > claiming "amd64". There are two ways of running Debian with amd64. Your way is the full separate architecture approach, which has (unofficial but pretty solid) support for sarge. The other way is to use the standard i386 architecture but install an amd64 kernel and the amd64-libs package, which I think is what Ralf is talking about. -- Russ Allbery (rra@xxxxxxxxxxxx) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
