I've come across a problem when building with x86_64 / X86-64 (64bit) vs the normal x86 (8,16,32bit) build.

The problem is that in the first case quite a number of packages are still both looking for lib files (and placing their newly created / modified lib files) in the /lib and /usr/lib instead of /lib64 and /usr/lib64, and therefore failing the package build and therefore the overall build (and in the one cutdown and installed build).

I can see a way of fixing this, by linking /lib64 back to /lib and /usr/lib64 back to /usr/lib, the question is where do I add this statement? By the way, both /lib (& /usr/lib) and /lib64 (& /usr/lib64) are needed as i've found a number of packages seem to have hardcoded the path into their source and output, so it's not as easy as deleting one.

Can someone please help with the "where do I put it". I really don't want to play with Rene's 00-dirtree file and had considered adding a second 01-dirtree-add-x86-64, but wondered if there was a better way of doing it as there are other Targets to consider!

thanks

p.s. for Rene/et al could someone please give me access to be able to, and a detailed writeup how to do a svn upload as I've quite a few changes (moved a fair number of 800.000 packages to 'new addresses', additions (new packages needed for new dependancies or split because of gtk2 / gtk3 and python 2 / 3 dependancies) and the like). As i've said before I have a love/HATE relationship with subversion like Rene has with git so the more details the better. scsijon
