Your 32-bit programs use the libraries in /usr/lib and 64-bit programs use the libraries in /usr/lib64. This is hard-coded into the programs when the packages are compiled. N.B. if you build 64-bit rpms using source packages from other distributions that don't use this convention, you may end up with 64-bit libraries in your 32-bit /usr/lib hierarchy. These may inadvertently overwrite existing 32-bit libraries of the same name, rendering the 32-bit programs that depend on them non-functional. -- -John (john@xxxxxxxxxxx) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
