Hi all,

	I have a fresh install of FBSD 7 amd64, and I want to run some 
legacy binaries from my old box (Fbsd 5.x i386).
	Searching the archives, I found this message:

	When I try to run the binaries, the following error message is 
displayed:

ELF interpreter /libexec/ld-elf32.so.1 not found
Abort

	I found the following tip to install 32bits libraries:

cd /usr/src
make build32
make install32
ldconfig -32 /usr/lib32

	Is that enough? 


Thank you,

- Marcelo
