I am looking at several 32 bit binary packages that are only downloadable as 32 bit rpms or debs.  For example: fledermaus and a related 3D viewer for bathymetry files, and two different video editors.  They are not available as source, and they certainly are not available as ebuilds, or prepackaged in any way. 

So, I can copy the binaries etc by hand into the chroot environment?  Or perhaps even unpack using "rpm" or apt?&nbs= p; WOuld I need to produce an ebuild of some kind?  (Something akin to climbing Mt. Everest, I guess).

Thanks again,

Alan

Normally you just install th= ose as normal. 32 bit binaries usually run
on AMD64 without modification= . For example, I have openoffice-bin,
firefox-bin and vmware-workstation= , all 32 bit packages, running on this
amd64 box.

The chroot is only needed if you want to build 32 bit= binaries.

Why is there an expiration= date on sour cream?
