Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge gimp 2.file /opt/gimps/mprime 3./opt/gimps/mprime Actual Results: 2. /opt/gimps/mprime: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, statically linked, stripped 3. -bash: /opt/gimps/mprime: cannot execute binary file Expected Results: 64-bit Let the ebuild fail if it's on a 64 Bit only system. jer@gentoo.org 2008-06-06 13:26:02 0000 Hmm, sources[1] are available. The license seems a bit odd: "If you use my source code to find Mersenne primes, you must agree to adhere to the GIMPS prize rules[2]. Other than that restriction, you may use this code as you see fit." [1] ftp://mersenne.org/gimps/source2414.zip [2] http://mersenne.org/prize.htm Would need quite a bit of patching, I'm afraid. spock@gentoo.org 2008-07-16 20:25:54 0000 This should be fixed in CVS now. Compiling from source doesn't seem to be an option as it looks like the source is missing some security/encryption-related code.
