Is there a way to install the 32 bit version of python with 64 bit one

Hello all,

I have recently purchased a Tux Droid and I'm trying to get it installed on my Arch64 system.  The problem is the software for it depends on the 32 bit python for TTS and a lot of other libs.  Is it just possible to install the 32 bit version along with 64 bit version?

Chroot http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc … bit_system That's really the only way, unless you want to hack together a bunch of bin32 packages, but a chroot is easier.

Do you mean schroot?  If so I'm not sure exactly how well that will work out, because the part that depends on python is a deamon that handles communication between the USB dongle and the Tux Droid which may mean hacking the deamon a bit so ether way this does not seem like it will be a easy task.

Once it's set up, for the most part it runs just like a 32 bit installation of Arch, I would think it would work. Also, are you sure it won't work natively 64 bit? I would think it would, but maybe not...

I already tried running it with 64 bit version the daemon fails to start, on the forums for the device they say that the error I get is related to the 64 bit python.
