There are older sample that i've used for my cvs builds and the current one at http://core.upi.iki.fi/out/hercules/ Those aren't even near perfect, but has been serving for me for my own x86-64 builds as i rarely run anything outside x86-64 anymore. That should show how to resolve the _libdir stuff tho and that should be portable. Then again, alpha has always been clean 64bit and didn't ever even have this /lib vs. /lib64 mess at all (at least publically it didn't). -- Pasi Pirhonen - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://iki.fi/upi/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
