At least on RHEL 5 and simple command-line apps you can just give the
"-m32" switch to gcc and it does the right thing. I haven't tried it
with anything complicated.

Flash might work for 64 bit, but it often crashes people's browsers
(mine and everyone I know that runs 64 bit). I've looked high and low
for solutions, but ended up just using linux32 to get it to work. It
could be a browser issue (Firefox & Seamonkey), or how it works with
flash, rather than flash itself, but getting the Java plugin to work on
64 bit with Firefox or Seamonkey has proved to be a serious hassle,
regardless of linux32 or not. Any solution for the browser plugin/jvm
stuff?

/nspluginwrapper/ maybe?

It's solid here on Debian/Sid AMD64 using the package from

Although Mozilla doesn't distribute 64-bit binaries of FF-3.5.x, most
linux distributions do provide their own 64-bit builds. And if they
doesn't stay as cutting edge as you might prefer, you can use your
distibution's package-building mechanism to build your own 64-bit
binary packages. I've done this using rpmbuild to make my own
Thunderbird, Firefox, and Sunbird packages when I felt it necessary.

It's running fine on my Kubuntu 9.04 & 9.10 AMD64 installations too. :-)

Of course that was tried (and used), and flash does work on my system,
but every now and again without warning it will crash my browser and
all tabs open, though again that might not be just flash, but it's
related as it only happens on web pages that have flash. I've tried
different versions as well, and the same issue exists. Luckily I don't
care for sites that use it, but it sucks when I need to access a flash
site for work reasons.

If you meant JVM/Java, yes, I tried it for that as well, and it doesn't
work.

I don't use Debian, but I have noticed that a lot of stuff is packaged
for Debian that is a hassle to find for things like CentOS/RHEL, etc.
Not that I need an RPM/package, but I can't find a bin or source for
these things to work either (not for the browser anyway).

Do you have the EPEL and karan repositories installed on your CentOS
system? Redhat strips RHEL to the barebones, it's even missing Xemacs.
The karan and EPEL repositories get you access to a number of Fedora
packages which have been rebuilt for RHEL.

Although I haven't managed to get Sun's java plugin to work for me, I've
found the 64-bit IcedTea java plugin works reasonable well in 64-bit linux.

I'll check it out, thanks. Most of the stuff I do is server related,
which is why I like CentOS for a lot of things (with the min installs I
do), so I've not ventured all the way into things I would like for my
desktop/workstation. I appreciate the info, it might solve some
problems.
