Oh, yes I should have added that there is an entry in 00-dirtree.conf to create the /lib64 etc, but it doesn't fix the problem where the actual wanted to be used files are in the /lib64 etc. directory and NOT the one in the /lib directory.

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

scsijon

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
