I spent two days trying to figure out how to compile a 32 bit library on a 64 bit system.

A sysadmin would have figured it out in 5 minutes, and lazily dropped by my desk to show me where I went wrong.

In my experience, sysadmins aren't just people who keep things running during the course of Business As Usual, you guys are also a terrifying repository of arcane knowledge.
