Re: Is there a problem with 64-bit Linux?

I've been running 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop for a while, and more recently 64-bit EasyPeasy (an Ubuntu derivative) on my netbook without any issues.
Did you install the Debian Package for 64-bit systems (32-bit euphoria binaries) from the downloads page?

Perhaps, I should have entered this post under my previous thread: http://openeuphoria.org/forum/119314.wc?last_id=119419
For the record, I have used 32-bit Euphoria 4.0.3 under Ubuntu 12.04 for some time with no problems.
When I installed 64-bit Linux Mint 13 (MAYA) I initially installed the Debian package for 64-bit systems. Eui ran, but euc failed. I then installed euphoria-LINUX-4.0.5-src.tar.gz. Installation failed presumably due to the lack of 386 binaries and "multi-arch" support. After installing those files, I attempted to compile/install from source again - the machine was buzzing along nicely and then crashed. I could not even boot back into that partition.
In the thread referenced above, Jim Brown observed: [quote] Your stdio.h doesn't work. You're missing bits/predefs.h - that sounds like a distro issue. [quote/]
I am now running Linux Euphoria 4.0.5 installed from the binary tar.gz file under Ubuntu 12.10 with no problems. It may be that 64-bit Ubuntu will install and run 32-bit Euphoria 4.0.5. with no problems. Your experience certainly seems to support that notion. I may try install 64-bit Ubuntu 12.10 on another computer within the next several weeks.
But, the question of this thread is.... "Is development of 64-bit Euphoria under Linux more difficult than development of 64-bit Euphoria for Windows?"
