This is still a kind of hazy topic. The current standards are not very clear about this.
Here is what I have been doing. It may not be correct, but it seems to work. - I completely ignore a /usr/lib32 subdir. - On 32 bit systems shared files go into /usr/lib - On 64 bit systems shared files go into /usr/lib64 It still works if you always put 64 bit shared files into /usr/lib, but if you have a product that requires both 32 and 64 bit libraries then you have to separate them somehow. Oh, and 32 bit applications NEVER look in /usr/lib64 to resolve library references. David Ashley On 08/11/2010 08:44 AM, Rony G.
