[gate-users] Re: gate-users Digest, Vol 20, Issue 20

[Christian Wietholt]

> ------------------------------
I have Gate running on a 64 Bit dual Opteron workstation with Debian-AMD64 
unstable as the OS. The benchmark gave the expected results, as posted in the 
installation instructions for Gate. And I did not compile it with the -m32 
option either. 

I hope this helps.
