Guys,

Just wondering if we can run a 32bit binary on 64bit opensuse 11.3? Is there an emulator or some rpm that we need to install to facilitate this ? or is this totally impossible ?

The short answer to your question MarcoMeswara is a resounding YES. When you install the 64 bit version of openSUSE, it is still possible to run 32 bit applications. In fact, for a few programs, only 32 bit versions exist. So, if this is the same in your case, use the 32 bit version if you need to as it is OK. Also, welcome to the openSUSE forum MarcoMeswara!

Thank You,
