I have yet to have "getconf WORD_BIT" return 64. Here's Fedora 3 on a P4: $ uname -m i686 $ getconf WORD_BIT 32 Here's RHES3 on IA64: $ uname -m ia64 $ getconf WORD_BIT 32 Here's Solaris 8 on an e450 (UltraSparc-II, and probably a bad example): $ uname -m sun4u $ getconf WORD_BIT 32 Here's Irix 6.5.24 on an Origin 3900 (R14000): $ uname -m IP35 $ getconf WORD_BIT 16 I don't have any x86_64 machines around to look at. Does "getconf" really return "64" on that architecture? -Steve -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
