Installing gcc-multilib after gcc installed.

Hey there,

I'm trying to install gcc-multilib on my 64 bit machine as I'm trying to compile some binaries for a 32 bit system so I'm trying to install the multilib version of gcc however when I go to install it it obviously conflicts with the gcc I currently have installed and in order to install it I'd need to remove gcc-libs which basically uninstalls a large majority of my system because everything relies on gcc-libs.

Sorry if this is the wrong area I just don't really know what to do.

Thanks

Re: Installing gcc-multilib after gcc installed.

Are you trying to remove gcc-libs manually rather than letting pacman do it as part of the transaction that replaces gcc with gcc-multilib? Because gcc-multilib should pull in gcc-libs-multilib which provides gcc-libs, so stuff depending on that should be fine.

How very odd, when I did pacman -S gcc-multilib the first time it would just fail the removal of dependencies transaction, but now I've opened it up again to post you the log of it failing and its worked. Problem solved I guess but I don't know why.
