The last statement is as wrong as it gets. I tried but I still fail to see the reason why you would possibly expect that to work reliably. By setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib:/usr/lib32, you cause dynamic linker to look for libraries in /usr/lib, usr/lib32 and /lib in that exact order, so if library in /usr/lib32 shadows one in /lib, it will be rightly picked up and you will get exactly what you asked for. -- Alexander Kabaev
