Simple question about 32bit or 64bit dependencies.

Hi!

I installed Arch 64bit in my laptop, but I tried to install Google Earth. I had some problems and to fix it I had to install "lib32-mesa-libgl". I already had installed "mesa-libgl" it was one of the first things I installed.

My question is:
Next time I install my system is better install both or just one of them is enough? I have a 64bit processor thats why i installed 64bit arch, but some programs like Google Earth and Skype are 32bit.

Re: Simple question about 32bit or 64bit dependencies.

This is one of the reasons to use the AUR, deps are already figured out for you. You don't need it unless something depends on it.
