Re: MacOS X 10.5.1 and compiling for multiple Architectures

Hi Shane,

Sure, I'm aware of that.
I meant, that I have the PHP module running as 64-bit (since the Apple-
provided Apache is 64-bit) but without the other architectures built-
in. I know that I can re-build PG to be only 32 bit, but since we're
slowly moving into a 64-bit world anyway, there is no real need to do
that, except if there are major issues with PG 64-bit under OS X. So
far, it's still up and running.

best regards,
chris
