Hmm, then there is really no point in building an FC4 rpm at all... One
should just build from source. This really goes against the theory of
rpm packaging...
Not a problem. I'll do that. Pity!
As for whether I WANT an x86_64 build or not is irrelevant. If all the
distribution's libraries are compiled x86_64 then that is the arch I
must target, otherwise why use it at all...
I know the pain I must go through to run ix86 applications concurrently
with x86_64, and I don't much enjoy it. I'd rather stick with either one
or the other.
It's simply a matter of principle, and would be no different if I were
using ppc instead (which I do and must compile pgAdminIII there as
well). If there is a src rpm to simplify the move from one platform to
another, then hooray. Otherwise there is always source.
I'm not complaining, I'm just clarifying my situation and my natural
assumptions.
