I wonder if your apt-get would install? I do have a 64-bit AMD CPU and AMD system, but I do not use 64-bit Kernels (using i686), libraries, etc. Maybe that's why? -- "...

I wonder if your apt-get would install? My guess is no: dependency issues; mainly, no 64-bit anything, hardware or software.

If you check, I'll bet you'll find 64-bit libraries have been installed. On Fedora, they are in /lib64 and /usr/lib64, but Debian may be different. Stef

Yeah. Debian originally installed from 2005. Someone told me that apt-get update and upgrade often will keep the whole OS and softwares updated. :) >> Interesting! I used apt-get.

Just mixed the 64-bit stuff with the 32-bit. Check for mcelog's dependencies on your system. On my system, mcelog has these /bin/bash libc.so.6()(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)(64bit) rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rtld(GNU_HASH) rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 I got these with 'rpm -qR mcelog' but you have a Debian system, so rpm won't work. In any case, I'm sure the reason mcelog installed and works on you system is due to its 64-bit hardware. Stef
