after i dropped f-prot, bitdefender, it was not needed for me to use 32bit
glibc anymore, after that all was 64bit elf, and i got more memory to do other
more usefull things with it

how do you make that output ?, imho its not ldd :=)

this is generic how its done, just in case you have 64bit, and builded some
errors, you can do a bootstrap on 32bit to fix it, well its hard, but not for a
talented fool :=)

systemresquecd would just be better choice and chroot it there

i readed it as it was some game that is not localy compiled ?, or was localy
compiled but failed to work ?, hmm if it was gentoo it was just a matter of
revdep-rebuild :=)

i like to get lowpowered atom cpu bassed servers in comming years, here, the
old p4 is soon time to be retired as my best friend, done from my time learning
gentoo, and why use gentoo, if you google xpoint fidonet you can find redhat 8,
lol, maybe i could give Mr Maddog a fidonet number :=) (Mark Hall....)

he is well known in redhat and now small computers, and i have meet him in my
local town here in danmark, he sleeped around a mile from me, oh this memories

its not that simple for all outside of canadien borders, nsa and danish
counterpart of it pet, do some silly privacy exchanges, and there is not even a
bill to pay

yep, i just dont know how and why linux have systemd at all

still using gentoo here with systemd disabled
