 |

I have:
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux_gnu"
in /etc/make.conf
How do I know the vi packages are running in amd64 when I use "emerge vi" (for example) |

try
| Code: |
$ file /usr/bin/vim
/usr/bin/vim: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

Hmm... that's not the best way.... try uname, which tells you what you're running _now_:
| Code: | uname -a
Linux Metis 2.6.7-gentoo-r7 #2 Fri Jul 2 18:42:33 CEST 2004 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux |
Edit... A little more easy: uname -m

But you can be running a 64-bit kernel and still run 32-bit applications:
| Code: |
uname -m
x86_64
file /usr/bin/emacs
/usr/bin/emacs: sticky ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
file /opt/opera/lib/opera/7.54-20040803.1/opera
/opt/opera/lib/opera/7.54-20040803.1/opera: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
|
That said, anything you compile using emerge will be compiled 64-bit; only binary packages or compiles done using -m32 will be 32-bit. |
