Re: gEDA-user: AMD64 & Geda

[Dan McMahill <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure what the whole 'masked' thing means (I'm not a linux user), 
but I've used gEDA for years on a 64-bit system (alpha) with no problems 
so I'd be suprised if it didn't work correctly on AMD64.  I know for a 
fact it at least builds on AMD64 running NetBSD, but I don't have one to 
try running it on.

You may have issues with some of the dependencies.  I know that us alpha 
users have had to fix countless bugs in 3rd party software.  gEDA should 
be fairly 64-bit clean though.
