1) Differences between x86, i686, and x86_64
2) How to check if the processor is of 32 bit or 64 bit on Ubuntu
3) How to check if operating system(ubuntu) is of 32 bit or 64 bit
I have an AMD Turion and do not know what to choose between these two versions to install Arch Linux.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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 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?
I have small question about building packages: is it possible to build packages for i686 and x86_64 (without virtual machines?)

i was trying to install runtime environment first as per the instrucions in installation guide
If I wanted to avoid installing certain i386 apps from the repository, could I somehow compile my own (generic compiling, or for deb packages) with an i686 architecture in mind?Would this be congruent with the rest of the Debian OS, or would the extra instructions cause instability (if even possible)?

The Debian site says latest netinst images have i686 available. I only see i386, so does debian offer the i686 option during net install? Perhaps I won't see a difference between i386 and i686. 1.00 Ghz Pentium M on IBM thinkpad X40 with intel integrated graphics card

I'd like to include architecture specific flags instead of the generic i686 ones if possible.
So far, my tests have revealed that Arch Linux runs faster than Debian several media apps. I initially thought this was due to the i686 optimization of Arch, but other mentioned it could simply be a kernel timer issue.
I know for a fact the differences aren't due to bloat, and I've installed both OSes from minimal install means. Only the absolutely needed dependencies have been installed.
Where do I obtain this? I have the i586 kernel and I need the i686 kernel to run VMware. I beleive this may be the pottential reason virtualbox wasn't working too.
