Hi Des,

I had noticed that there were various packages with a -32bit suffix, which is 
what I based my theory that a 32-bit build would be _possible_ on the new 
box.

I should imagine that a bit of tweaking in  ./configure.in and Makefile to 
point.  In my case, the CAD-viewer (broken) Makefile has CC = gcc as the 
first non-comment line, and a bit further down in CFLAGS I have a 
-DUSE_LIB64_PATHES  entry too.

Both of which sound like places to start looking.  Maybe SuSE provide some 
clues under /usr/share/doc/packages/*-32bit?  don't know, haven't looked yet!

Sadly, I won't have any time to put into this for a week or  2, but am 
watching your progress with interest.

Cheers,
Maf.
