[SOLVED] base-devel First Time, binutils/binutils-multilib Conflict

Hello everybody,

I'm just trying to install something from the AUR for the first time (new Arch user) on a 64-bit installation. I have had the [multilib] repository accessible since installing, I have gcc-multilib, gcc-libs-multilib, gcc-fortran-multilib, gcc-objc-multilib, and libtool-multilib. I'm pretty sure I didn't need a couple of those but I was trying fixes from other posts so they're there now.

I get an error when trying:

sudo pacman -S base-devel

Under dependencies, it says it requires gcc, libtool, and binutils (the rest seem not to be causing problems for me, but I don't know for sure yet).

:: binutils and binutils-multilib are in conflict. Remove binutils-multilib? [y/N]

I've said N so far because others have said binutils-multilib does what binutils does so I shouldn't have to take the non-multilib version. Someone also posted that libtool depended on binutils, but that was a different thread with a different problem so I don't know that it has to do with me. I installed libtool-multilib just in case, but it hasn't changed any prompts. Some others also had gcc-fortran installed and resolved issues by replacing it with gcc-fortran-multilib.

sudo pacman -Qs gcc

The above tells me some information about my gcc setup, and everything is from multilib except:

local/lib32-gcc-libs 4.7.1-4.1
    Runtime libraries shipped with GCC (32-bit)

However, there wasn't a lib64... or ...-multilib equivalent to that one.

Sorry I don't know how to procede from here. Does anybody know off hand how to get base-devel on a 64-bit multilib installation?

Thanks,
Dave

Actually, I apologize... I think I was just too tired before when I tried to do this. I just realized that base-devel is just a group of packages. It's not a software itself that I need. So I guess I can just proceed without the non-multilib versions of those specific packages. I'll post back if I still have troubles, but I'll probably end up marking it [SOLVED] here in a bit.
