Hi,

I'm told libs should install in lib64 (as opposed to lib) when on
x86_64 (and, looking
on the web, a few more archs). I looked at a few libs (libogg,
liboggz, libtheora), and
none of them do this either. I'd have expected at least libogg, which
has got to be
used pretty much everywhere, to have been changed to do so if this was
the "right
thing" to do.

It's said to be the "right thing" in the FHS, though I'm not
too
certain if that would
break many old libs, but I thought I'd mention it. And maybe see if
some people who
are knowledgeable about this have something to say :)

Cheers
