Hi,

I have a X86_64 machine. I have installed FC8. But I discovered that
with Mozilla, for instance, some webs, requiered to use some plugins,
like Shokewave-flash. But this extension is not available for 64bits
machine....

this machine will be used for webserver, but also as desktop machine..
is this really reasonable to use a i386 version of FC8 on a 64b
machine ? Is there a real gain to use an 64b version ?
If you absolutely can't live without Flash in your browser you can run
the i386 version of Mozilla/Firefox/etc under your X86_64 installation.

Or you can look into nspluginwrapper.
Really ? I can download and run Mozilla for i386 on an X86-64 bit
machine ????

Yes. Architecture is upstream compatible. You can run 32bit software on a
64bit install but not the other way around. There will be a performance
hit because you're loading and flushing registers that will never be more
than half full... but chances are you won't notice it.


Hi Ivan,

I just download the TAR version of Mozilla (v 2.0.0.9)
When I do : ./firefox-bin

-> Error while loading shared libraries : libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

and if you have a look into the directory of Firefox, this library exists..
I even tried to do : chmod 777 libmozjs.so just in case...
Do you know what does it mean ??

Thanks
.
