    I still haven't found anything that documents this and as usual, when
    all fails, RTFM, except I haven't got around to reading it. I started
    with a 9.1 ftp install, read the gcc manpage and when I came across
    generated Makefiles and errors pointing to e.g /usr/lib instead of
    /usr/lib64, I tried things. There was one problem where it kept looking
    in /usr/lib64 for most things, but /usr/lib for the odd thing and
    failed. Putting the problem to the SuSE guys, I got responses that I was
    doing something wrong, so when I told them the exact problem, never saw
    them on the 64-bit list again. Recently I've not come across any
    problems, 9.2 and 9.3 have been OK.
    The things you can't do.
    - get a 32-bit module to work with a 64-bit kernel or app, e.g
    smartmodem which contains a 32-bit proprietary module and get plugins
    for mozilla or MPlayer (both 64-bit) to work as they are only 32-bit
    plugins available, so you have to use the 32-bit apps if you need plugins.
    I've also come across some apps that wouldn't compile on 64-bit, even
    when changing the Makefiles by substituting /usr/lib64 for /usr/lib.
    For a 32-bit machine it's quite straightforward, for the same KDE app,
    "./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3 --sysconfdir=/etc --mandir=/usr/share/man".
    Regards
    Sid.
