If a distro insists on shipping 64-bit libraries under /usr/lib64, then it would be in the distro's best interest to also ship a config.site variable that defaults --libdir to the appropriate /usr/lib64 location. You should raise this as a bug report with any distro that doesn't make out-of-the-box installation into distro-specific defaults more automatic. -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
