Re: [Xen-devel] make install not creating lib entries in /usr/lib under Ubunu 11.10

[Jeffrey Karrels <karrelsj@xxxxxxxxx>]

In re-reading my last message by itself (without reading the referenced thread) it sounds rather confusing. What I meant to say was that upon running a 'make install' or 'make dist' on my Centos x86_64 machine, I find that all of the libraries (except python2.6)  find their way into the /usr/lib directory rather than the /usr/lib64 directory. Is this the intended outcome?

System: Centos 6.1, xen-unstable (4.2), x86_64

Hello all,

I was just wondering what the "correct" way is to go about this. I have a x86_64 centos system that has all of the libs going to /usr/lib and not /usr/lib64. It sounds like we want to keep everything in /usr/lib on purpose. Is that correct?

Sorry, I misunderstood Ian Jackson's comment. It made me think
deleting /usr/lib64 might change something :) I now understand the
point he was trying to make and your fix. Thanks for the help.
