Using 64bit RRDs on a 32bit machine?

I've got RRD files being maintained on 64bit machines, which I'd like to
create graphs from, but on a 32bit machine.  I've thought of building
rrd for 32bit on my 64bit machines, but it seems to be a little too
complicated.  Any other way to overcome this?

I am running the same 32bit rrdtool on our 64bit machines (all RedHat EL4). I wished I didn't have to.

It is one of the things I really would love to see changed.

Ulf.

Per,

you could run 32bit rrdtool on the 64bit machine ...

Thanks Tobi, that's what I'm looking at now, looks like the only option.

Any tips on how to configure for a 32bit build on a 64bit machine?  I
tried just adding CFLAGS=-m32, but that didn't go far.  Alternatively, I
guess I can build the 32bit version elsewhere and copy it to my 64bit
systems.

Just in case in anyone should run into the same problem - I ended up
following Tobis suggestion of just copying the 32bit libraries and
executables to my 64bit systems, and using those. Seems to be working
just fine.

Btw, I completely appreciate the difficulties in cross platform support,
but I can't help wondering if a shared format or some sort of
compatibility-mode might not be very useful for IA32/64.  If there is a
performance impact, it could be made a compile option.
