Yes, install_clib.py is mine, and yes, it hardcodes 'lib' into the installation
path. However, the version I'm experimenting with delegates installation to the
Makefile (as I expected /hoped that at least there autoconf would generate the
correct $(libdir) variable. It doesn't. (See my previous mail.)

While I understand your patch works for the platforms you tested on, I don't
think this is a solution. There are platforms that support both, 32-bit as well
as 64-bit version to be installed side-by-side. Doing a 32-bit build on that
platform will still find /usr/lib64, and thus wrongly attempt to install the
32-bit libSynopsis.so there.

So once again, where can I find an autoconf version that replaces @libdir@ by
$(exec_prefix)/lib64 on the appropriate platforms ?

(If everything else fails, I have been contemplating a work-around that would
involve passing a --libdir variable down to the install command from within the
synopsis.spec file, so no matter whether autoconf gets it right, I use whatever
rpmbuild wants me to use.)

Thanks
