How to make programs link the lib64/* instead of lib/* on FC4?

[Robinson Tiemuqinke]

Hi,

 I got a questions about FC4 64bit and 32bit OSes, I
have a program compiles and works on FC4 32bit without
problems; but when I compiled it on FC4 64bit, it
failed to locate libraries, and I have to specify
/usr/lib64/* explicitly to make it compile and work.

 I know the above is too ridiculous, anyone know how
to deal with this problem? I know there are a lot of
experts here... :)

Thanks.

Use "--with-libdir=/usr/lib64" in the configure script?

Paul,

 Thanks for you quick reply! But it doesn't help.

Sorry, that probably should have been:

./configure --libdir=/usr/lib64

I think you'll find libdir in configure is setting the destination for
libraries to be installed to and doesn't affect this problem.

You can usually override LDFLAGS to enforce looking at the right libs, eg,

./configure LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib64

but how to do that depends on the configure script.  Did you compile
with -m64 CFLAGS?

That sometimes means the app in question is broken wrt 64bit-ness.  Can 
you more details?  What program is it?  What errors are you seeing?
