Hi, The AMD line of 64-bit processors were released well ahead of Intel's offering. Therefore, for historical reasons the arch keyword for all x86-64 compatible architectures on many distros is amd64. I personally have never had a problem running 'amd64' packages on intel architecture (1000+ intels) - the majority of servers out there run on Intels. I would actually only expect programmers to take advantage of intel-specific chip instructions on a Windows platform. Aside from that, Bazsi mentions that all syslog-ng versions are compiled against a generic x86_64 CPU: https://lists.balabit.hu/pipermail/syslog-ng/2009-July/013134.html So feel free to use the amd64 package. -LL On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 3:45 PM, Adam Chou <adam.chou@gmail.com> wrote:
I'm trying to build the syslog-ng RPM and I'm having an issue with the libnet-devel package. I've tried searching for it and I can't find a devel package from Fedora, CentOS, or RHEL. I found the libnet-devel page but the project appears to have forked now so I'm no longer sure if its still good to use. Just in case you're wondering why I'm trying to build from source, the current packages are built for amd64 and I'm running x86_64 on an Intel. Any help with how I can get libnet-devel installed would be much appreciated. Thanks. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
