The answer is that is just how Fedora distro is!
Fedora x86_64 installation installs 32 bit and 64 bit libs
in /lib + /usr/lib and /lib64 + /usr/lib64 respectively.
And I do not want to depart from this.
I have built other libs from source rpms. Since my compilation
env is 64 bit (I let that be the default); then upon installation,
the libs end up in /usr/lib64, and not /usr/lib.
I can override my 64 bit env to go 32 bit. And that works for
just about ever source rpm I have built and it produces 32 bit libs and
get installed in /usr/lib.
I would like to know how to to enamble the xmms2 config/build/install
scripts
to distinguish between a 32 bit compilation vs a 64 bit compilation,
and then install the libs in /usr/lib or /usr/lib64 accordingly.

I did try that. All it "seems" to do is to use /usr/lib64 directly

May I ask, if your system is 64-bit why the hell isn't /usr/lib
pointing to your 64-bit libraries? I'm running 64-bit Ubuntu and my
/usr directory looks as follows:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr$ ls -l |grep lib
drwxr-xr-x 258 root root 126976 2008-11-26 20:40 lib
drwxr-xr-x 34 root root 36864 2008-10-25 23:59 lib32
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2007-10-12 15:13 lib64 -> lib
This is how any sane distribution should handle the 32-bit 64-bit hack
if they want to provide support for having both types of libraries on
the same system. I'm not sure how to edit the install dir of xmms2,
but installing them to the lib directory is correct at least and your
system is fucked up...
