Hi, Tom.

I don't know what you mean by this.  I set the EPICS_HOST_ARCH
environment variable by hand.  What kernel I'm running has
nothing to do with what value EPICS_HOST_ARCH contains since I
set it myself.  And of course the Mac OS X kernel knows nothing
about the EPICS_HOST_ARCH environment variable.  Plus, the only
supported EPICS Darwin architectures which EPICS_HOST_ARCH could
be set to that I know of are darwin-ppc, darwin-ppcx86, and
darwin-x86, none of which contain "64".  What am I missing?

Thanks,

Lewis
