Thanks Alan for the offer. Last time I tried gentoo it was 32bit and couldn't get your ebuild on it cause it was for 64bit. So wiped the partitions and fedora again. It is not difficult at all to run 32bit software on 64bit fedora, I've done it from the beginning I installed XSI, dual booting 32/64 bit linux. Eventually I'll try gentoo again but at the moment I'll wait for better info about xsi6 OS requirements, and maybe I should invest my money to hw instead of upgrade, irrelevant anyway.

Thanks,
Mikko

Hehehe - interesting story :-)

On the serious side I've been asking Soft the same question - there's
still no official answer.

If you'd like any help in getting 32bit XSI running on 64linux so
other applications can get the benefits I'm happy to help. I'm a
gentoo user here btw.

Cheers,

Alan.

insult I left unsolved form what she got that idea, just thought I was not
wellcome anymore to this kind of activity. On another day I passed my
bookselves and read bookbacks "Softimage|XSI" heureka, ofcourse this
parfume kind software package caused it. It is nice IMO, I don't care. But
now I'm pornstar using communist operating system. Porn industry keeps
along the line of market economy and it don't mix well with linux as free
sex wouldn't do any good for the industry, not to talk about open source.


All the best
