This means that there are 64bit shared objects going to /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64, which is wrong, but currently not really a bug, since /usr/lib is a link to /usr/lib64.

So if anyone can help with a fix, please let me know.


Just remove 'multilib-strict' from your FEATURES.


Excellent.  I learn some more detail just from that.  Thanks.

I've got my head pretty much around what multilib _should_ do eventually. (Duncan's verbosity in the past has helped with that :-) especially in the many threads on the 2005.0 changeover).

I'm always keen on knowing the detail of where things are up to though - both wrt 2005.1 and dual-bitness of portage. If Duncan's roadmap (in his post) is an invention does that mean that there isn't one?

I'm hanging out for portage becoming dual-bitness aware. In the 'other issue' - the quest to make all ebuilds multilib-friendly - is there a standardised process for the amd64 mob to lodge "needs-to-be-multilibbed" bug reports?
