Örn, http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#LIB64 Read the rationale and you may agree it was the right thing to do. Roy Örn Hansen wrote:
I'm totally amazed, totally ... who was the "smart" guy who figured out, that on a 64bit system, the native libraries should be kept in a non-standard directory lib64???? Every program I stumble upon, is choking on this ... they all try to locate their "normal" libraries in /lib or /usr/lib and expect them to be 64bit.
How come, this "smart" fellow didn't put non-native 32bit libraries as lib32 and 64bit native libraries where every-goddam-thing expects to find them?
