I regularly run GPC 64 bit on linux. I seem to recall it took a bit of fun to get it to work. There might be somenotes in the Pascal-P6 project regarding that:I used a stock 64 bit built (I think the African chief built).Scott Franco--------- Original Message ---------Subject: Re: Installing on Debian Stretch?

Thanks Matthias & WaldekMy OS and machine are strictly 64 bit. I really don't want to mix architectures. I benchmarked a 32 bit Debian install against a 64 bit Debian install and the 64 bit version was significantly faster for my particular hardware mix. CPU is a little AMD C-70 APU.Maybe I missed something. Had no idea the version of the binary I downloaded was the 32 bit. AH well. Apparently there are no 64 bit binary installs on the GPC website. Doesn't surprise me. That site hasn't been updated in a long time. Would love to give it a face lift, let people know that GPC isn't completely dead.I wanted to start getting involved in GPC again by simply installing the most recent binary from the website and NOT do a complete build. Ah well!
I saw your repo on github, Waldek. I haven't built GPC from source in over 10 years! I incorrectly thought installing the binary from the website would be easier. Ah well!Over the next few days I will try to build the source and perhaps see just how confused I can make myself!Thanks again-Ken

see https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO, then you can install 32bit packages
using apt install libc6:i386 ...
