I just point out that none of the binaries in /usr/bin is a 64-bit binary; this includes the Sun-provided /usr/sfw/bin/python
True. This is for simplicity reasons (provide only one binary valid for 32 and 64 bits CPUs) and because 64 bits is overkill for a lot of stuff. In my own system my only 64 bits libraries are OpenSSL, GMP, and some multimedia stuff like mencoder, vorbis, etc, where the difference is big. And the GCC 4.5.x install, that installs libraries (fortran, stdc++, objective C, etc) automatically under "/usr/local/lib/64". GOOD. But if we say the Python can be compiled as 64 bits under Solaris, would be nice if that was actually true. Now that we have a buildbot (under OpenIndiana) to test, it is doable. If not, we could say that Solaris+64 bits is unsupported. I don't think we should go that way. Solaris+64 bits should be a full citizen. - -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ jcea@jcea.es - http://www.jcea.es/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ jabber / xmpp:jcea@jabber.org _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ . _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQCVAwUBTOsRxplgi5GaxT1NAQKqqAP/fkiPpnPswMYOWc30Bflg3nDqRf6ih1bW ZZYHEMuJN9C8rm419LnRtoTyeAruHQYJ3o/dAoA2xDZu1xDYz8OOJKzG1L8hRVce OGm9TmziS4zuwWS4sYdmh21/ZCuD0MVq3gqD1h8zYPwrqbTTA6shYr6/He5hAo6j 5PsYWj4gIAE= =Rr80 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
