[PD] installing pd 32 bits in a 64 bit linux?

[András Murányi]

Howdy,
another 64-bit guy here. My advice: go with the 64-bit version, and most
likely you will never experience a problem related to 64-bitness. If you
do, or in doubt, report it here so Pd can be improved. If later, by any
chance, you run into a 64-bit problem which cannot be fixed soon with the
help of the mailing list, you can still install a 32-bit copy. (You have to
force the package manager to install the 32-bit package then use the
'getlibs' utility to satisfy dependencies for 32-bit software on 64-bit.)
