Me, too. :-)

I compiled Emacs, enlightenment, bogofilter, etc.
I got all of them as  64 bit program.

When compiling, I executeed;

  ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib ... --prefix=/usr

but gcc refered /usr/lib64 and /lib64 dirs, not /usr/lib.
That is, it it same same as;

  ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib64:/lib64 .... --prefix=/usr

I can't understand this.

Could you inform me of it?

PS. Bob, have you received my email? I often received rejected return
emails.
