[clue-tech] gentoo, AMD64, gnumeric and excel

[Dave Price]

Greetings,

With all the gentoo discussion of late, I thought this would be a good
place to ask...

I have gentoo up and running on an Athlon64 - did an emerge gnumeric,
and gnumeric loads fine.

When I try to open an excel/xls file, I get an error about unsupported
format and it seems a missing plugin - but the plugin is there and
readable - even show in the plugins window exactly the same as my
other working gnumeric under centOS..

Anyone seen this before?  Any suggestions?  should I maybe build a
32-bit gnumeric?  I am not too sure how to go about doing that.
