[LON-CAPA-admin] 64 bit

[Michael W Edwards]

Guy,

Here's the diff I got on my distprobe which I just created, granted this
merely will identify a suse or sles machine, we'd also need a way to
pickup 64bitness (most reliable might be via a uname -p) so the correct
tth.so could be applied.  I have not tested this distprobe on a regular
SuSE Linux machine I just checked what was in the /etc/SuSE-release file
to get the regexp.

test-srv1:/src/eval/loncapa-1.2.1/loncom/build # diff ./distprobe
/src/distprobe 
58a59,71
> } elsif (-e '/etc/SuSE-release') {
>     open(IN,'</etc/SuSE-release');
>     my $versionstring=<IN>;
>     chomp($versionstring);
>     close(IN);
>     if ($versionstring =~ /^SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server ([\d\.]+) /)
{
>         $dist='sles'.$1;
>     } elsif ($versionstring =~ /^SuSE Linux ([\d\.]+) /) {
>         $dist = 'suse'.$1;
>     } else {
>         warn('Unable to interpret /etc/SuSE-release '.
>              'to determine system type');
