Installing MongoDB on Debian using apt-get can only get 32bit

[Sam Martin]

Hi all,

when following the Debian quick install guide, i've added the source and

deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/debian-sysvinit dist 10gen

sudo apt-get install mongodb-10gen

The problem is that it seems to installed the 32bit version. Is there 64bit source/package?

Thanks,

Sam

You are probably running a 32bit distro hence it installed the 32bit edition.

You must transfer to a 64bit distro to use the 64bit edition.

I sussed that out! sadly after setting up the server.

I found out by not being able to run the 64bit mongod from download.

wrestling with android sdk's 64bit sdk containing a 32bit
executable, `adb`.. got it to work anyway with something
like:

#following: http://serverfault.com/questions/415073/ia32-libs-depends-ia32-libs-i386-but-it-is-not-installable

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install ia32-libs-i386

would that help? or it's 64bit-or-bust?
