before compiling evas (and any other x stuff) you could try doing this before
you run configure:
export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/X11R6/lib64
or
export CFLAGS=-L/usr/X11R6/lib64
to let it find 64bit libs.
a note for the wise:
.a files are archive files that contain code to be STATICALLY linked in. they
are not used very often. .so files are shared libraries. you need a libBLAH.so
symlink (no version number after the .so) pointing to the major version
(libBLAH.so.3.0.0 for example) when linking to BLAH for the linker to work.
ldconfig has nothing to do with compiling and linking code :) so the reason it
doesnt build is efl has no clue it should look in /usr/X11R6/lib64 to link to
build a 64bit version of evas... i am not sure on the details of 64bit vs 32bit
for x86 and if you can safely build a 64bit app and link to a 32bit lib (or if
binutils lets you). it's liekyl to be evil at best (having to convert a pointer
to 64bit mem space to a 32bit one for a 32bit lib that expects 32bit pointers
for example...). so the likely reason it wont link to the X11 32bit libs is you
are compiling it in a way that it produces 64bit code and thus MUST link to
64bit libs, not 32bit libs.
