[Chandler-dev] Ubuntu Gutsy 64-bit experimental build available

[Jonas Beckman]

OK. I am running the 64-bit Ubuntu version now. Both unit and functional 
tests work for me too.

I am not even making unserious fixes yet. :-)  I meant to say that
getting the latest 32-bit Ubuntu VM from SVN still worked. But
downloading your 64-bit special failed halfway through... it didn't work 
until a while later. Perhaps just a repo glitch.

Everything works using one virtual processor.


Well, some people just can't get enough speed. :-) Using two did seem a 
little faster - but Chandler froze completely during tests. I tried 
several times and it froze at different places. There is no need to 
re-install if you want to try it: just turn off the VM and change the 
number of processors.
