All ftn formats are not 64-bit clean.  Not even close.

I looked at an ftp site.  The break the libs into /lib32, /lib64,
/usr/lib32 and /usr/lib64.  Didn't bother checking either /usr/local/ or
/opt/ but I am guessing if they have those directories and use them then
the lib dir's are probably split there as well.

Yes.

 BP> both works well ?

Seem to.  We seem to be talking to each other and this particular message
is being typed in at the msged compiled on the x86_64 system using -m32. 
If you can read this then it works.  If not then it didn't.

Life is good,
Maurice
