I guess I should have clarified a bit. It applies to any non-binary-only non-bytecode non-script library. $(get_libdir) is there to make sure that 64bit libraries go into lib64 on amd64, and 32bit ones go into lib. or that N64 objects on mips go into lib64, N32 in lib32, and O32 in lib (at least i -think- that's how they eventually want it set up?). The way python is currently patched, it -should- be looking in lib64 as well as lib, and using $(get_libdir) shouldnt change the behavior on non-multilib archs at all, so it wouldnt have hurt to use it... but i guess this is one case where it would make more sense to not use $(get_libdir). sorry about that ^^; Travis Tilley -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
