Hi

Well, in my question, I meant "is there a debian way ?". If I understand
correctly, if I want to compile a package for 64-bits, I will need the
64-bit libraries in lib64. But how can I get them ? Is there something
like apt-get install --biarch=lib64 libfoo-dev ? Or do I have to apt-get
source and modify the makefile (in which case I will give up because
there are a lot of dependancies, and all this discussion is just for a
"let's try and see" attempt for a package which anyway builds OK on
non-G5 machines).


Best,
