Compiling libORBIT

Hello all.

I just tried to compile libORBIT on my newly installed Slackware 12.2 64
bit distro. Configure/compile went well, but install installed
in /usr/lib, instead of lib64. ldd libORBIT-2.so lists all connections to
libraries that _are_ in /usr/lib64.

Do I need an extra step to direct the new library to the correct
directory?

TIA,
John

Just found out that with --libdir=/usr/lib64, I can solve the problem,
but the Q remains: shouldn't the 64-bit libs go directly to lib64?

hi John,

I am be wrong or plain silly here.
Did a 64 bit binary get built? or a 32 bit.
probably an elf dump can give you that answer.
if it shows 32 bit, we can guess why it went there.

rgds,
Vikram.

It was a 64 bits version. objdump confirmed that.
