General :: What Is The Difference Between I686 And X86_64
Jan 26, 2011I have an AMD Turion and do not know what to choose between these two versions to install Arch Linux.

View 3 RepliesI just bought a new laptop and installed Fedora 14 on it. I now just noticed that I must have been very sloppy when selecting the download CD, because somehow I managed to install the 32-bit i686 version instead of the 64-bit x86_64.
Is there a way to change without wiping out the existing install and do a reinstall?
what exact difference between i386 and i686 architecture based machine. Both suppose to be using 32 bit OS ?

I have both glibc.i686 and glibc.x86_64 installed in Fedora 14 because I have programs that require both. Using a yum update gives me the following error: file /usr/share/doc/glibc-2.12.90/NEWS from install of glibc-2.12.90-19.i686 conflicts with file from package glibc-2.12.90-18.x86_64
What is the best way to work around this issue? Trying an "yum update glibc.x86_64" gives me the corresponding opposite error. Doing a "yum update glibc.i686 glibc.x86_64" gives a longer list of dependency conflicts with glibc-headers and glibc-common.
I am having a problem with a simple program I wrote in Fortran (gfortran). This program basically reads a long list of numbers and makes some operations with them. Double precision is used in the variables and functions, and AFAIK everything is in order with the program. The thing is that I accidentally noticed that said program yields different results, and I am talking about integers being different, something noticeable. Apparently the offending chunk of code might be:
Code:
DOUBLE PRECISION FUNCTION tamano (x1,y1,z1)
DOUBLE PRECISION x1,y1,z1
tamano=dsqrt((x1)**2+(y1)**2+(z1)**2)
[code]....
One of the involved machines has F15 x86_64 and the other one F15 i686. My first guess is that this has something to do with how Fortran handles precision (which I supposed was the same for 32 and 64 bits). To compile the program I use:
Code:
gfortran --free-form -fno-whole-file program.f90
Is there another option I should pass the compiler to make sure the same precision is used in both cases? Or what can I do here?
I have small question about building packages: is it possible to build packages for i686 and x86_64 (without virtual machines?)

Edit: wine 32bit and Google Earth for example need them....
Code:
$ su -c 'yum install wine'

Can anyone explain why a 64 bit kernel builds a bzImage in both arch/x86 and arch/x86_64- is there a difference between the two?

Last nights upgrade of java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-43.1.8.2.fc13.i686 and java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-43.1.8.2.fc13.i686 prevent the loading of Ameritrades Command Center.Downgrading to version 1.6.0.0-37 fixes the problem. I'll post the bugzilla number as soon as I get the chance to file it.

I have installed Fedora 13 lately, however its architecture is i686... i want to install the GNU C Compiler (both c and c++)..... now i searched for i686 architecture gcc but most of them are not compiled.. and are archives e.g., gcc-4.4.1.tar..... Also, some RPMs say about dependencies. Is there a simpler solution?

I'm trying to cross compile the GNU make for Alpha Architecture on my i686 PC and the GNU make i compiled would be placed in my virtual hard disk which is a Alpha based linux simulated system. My question is now , I'm able to cross compile the GNU make on my i686 real PC machine , but when i let the make program run in my virtual machine , it pops out the error ..
make: /lib/libc.so.6.1: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by make)
After that, I try another alternative , and I read through the file "INSTALL" on the GNU make directory that I downloaded from the internet . In this case , I downloaded make-3.81. On the sub section "Compiling For Multiple Architectures" It says that
"You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the
directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run the `configure' script.`configure' automatically checks for the
source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'. If you have to use a `make' that does not support the `VPATH'
variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time in the source code directory. After you have installed the
package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring for another architecture." And I do not understand the line "by placing the object files for each architecture in their own directory" . What object files that I should put ?
I hve following doubts regarding cross-compiling
1. if cross toolchain build wth differnet library other than the one using presently on host, will it b matter.
2. if toolchain build for 32-bit nd if i'm running it on 64-bit will it b matter.

I'm not really sure where to look, but here is dmesg from workstation where sound isn't working:[URL]..whenever I go to System -> Preference -> Sound -> Output on broken workstation I only see "HDA NVidia Digital Stereo (HDMI)" and my old/onboard sound card is missing.
I actually did roll out of same Video Card to more then just 2 workstation, I did that to a 5. Only 2 of them sound working as expected. 1 of them didn't even needed to install nVidia drivers but that workstation running slightly newer OS version 6.1 instead of rest 6.0, so I'm back to where I started it ... clueless ;(
I am very new to Slackware and Linux.
I was able to install and run Slackware 13.0. But I have no clue to install anything to Slackware.

I wonder if there is an easy way to accomplish the following: I made a tool and part of it needs to be compiled. It would be easy if I can automate compilation for multiple platforms (x86 / x86_64 / RHEL / SLES / Ubuntu). Is there a way to do this automated on a single host? Or should I set up an os for each distro? Also is there a way to generate RPM and deb files also on the same host without having to edit the meta files each time a version changes?
