For Firefox (32bit) from fedora.us I needed no special libs from iX86 on x86_64. But Galeon was a real problem and I don't know if mozilla is that easy. Installing a second mozilla from the mozilla.org precompiled tar File should be easy (does it still exists?). > many of which overwrite files belonging to the x86_64 versions of > those RPMs. Mostly documentation and headers admittedly, not a big > deal, but some binaries too, which is annoying.

Yes, often, this is annoying. QT had such a problem also IIRC. Was hard to get a 32bit xine run on an 64bit FC2 (now there are 64bit xine available at livna.org this is easier again)... But I don't think /usr/ bin64 or something like that is specified somewhere (LSB)? Maybe this could be solved by /usr/bin/qtconfig-32 /usr/bin/qtconfig-64 and a script or link that points to the right Version? CU thl
