This can be quite hard at times. For most packages you can use --libdir with configure, but some packages still want to put their stuff into /lib or /usr/lib OpenSSL for example seems to require quite a few edits in the Makefiles. Here's what I have to "rape" OpenSSL into installing into /usr/lib64 if [ "$(uname -a | grep x86_64)" != "" ]; then for FILE in $(find . -name Makefile); do sed -i 's@$(INSTALLTOP)/lib@&64@g' ${FILE} sed -i 's@$${exec_prefix}/lib@&64@g' ${FILE} done fi Btw, if you compile a pure 64-bit system I suggest simply linking /lib to /lib64 and /usr/lib to /usr/lib64 Saves you lots of headaches with misplaced stuff... > As an experimanet I'm building an x86_64 system, in doing so > I'm noticing I need to have the libs point to /lib64 and /usr/lib64 > what is the easiest way to do this for the > userspace from git. looking at the Makefiles seems a bit confusing, > using LIBDIR=/lib64 does make /usr/lib64 but does not make /lib64. > > any ideas? > > Justin P.
