Hi,

 I tried to copy the ELDK 4.0 installation I had to a new Core 2 Quad
 machine running 64-bit Ubuntu 7.10, but the new machine refuses to
 execute the cross compiler. Has anyone succeeded in running ELDK in
 this kind of environment?

Yes (at least with 64-bit Debian on a single core Xeon), but you need
a special library on the host.  I think it's call 'ia32-libs'.  It
should be available via aptitude.

Thanks, that was indeed the correct library to install. Now it works just 
fine.

I'm a bit surprised there wasn't really any useful search results from 
Google with obvious keywords. I was already about to install the 32-bit 
version of Ubuntu to get the compiler working again. But then, perhaps 
installing this library was obvious to everyone else :)

We added an FAQ entry[1] to our DULG documentation.  And just as a
reminder, there is also an ELDK mailing list for such questions[2].

Cheers
  Detlev
