32-Bit and 64-Bit Applications
in a 64-Bit System
Environment
openSUSE® is available for 64-bit platforms. This does not necessarily mean that all
the applications included have already been ported to 64-bit platforms. openSUSE
supports the use of 32-bit applications in a 64-bit system environment. This chapter
offers a brief overview of how this support is implemented on 64-bit openSUSE plat-
forms. It explains how 32-bit applications are executed (runtime support) and how 32-
bit applications should be compiled to enable them to run both in 32-bit and 64-bit
system environments. Additionally, nd information about the kernel API and an ex-
planation of how 32-bit applications can run under a 64-bit kernel.
openSUSE for the 64-bit platforms amd64 and Intel 64 is designed so that existing 32-
bit applications run in the 64-bit environment “out-of-the-box.” This support means
that you can continue to use your preferred 32-bit applications without waiting for a
corresponding 64-bit port to become available.
6.1 Runtime Support
IMPORTANT: Conicts between Application Versions
If an application is available both for 32-bit and 64-bit environments, parallel
installation of both versions is bound to lead to problems. In such cases, decide
on one of the two versions and install and use this.
