No. The way multi-arch installations work is that you have the libraries under /usr/lib and /usr/lib64, or /usr/lib/$arch1 and /usr/lib/$arch2, but only one /usr/bin. So there cannot be two foo-config scripts to cover this. There is, however, /usr/lib/pkgconfig and /usr/lib64/pkgconfig (or analogous), so pkg-config can handle this. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
