Hi Pierrick,

If your configuration configure/* contains entries like X11_LIB=/usr/lib then the linker will search in the wrong path on a 64 bit system.

If you want to use the same configuration files for both, 64 and 32 bit systems, you need separate files for linux-x86 and linux-x86_64. In configure/CONFIG_EXTENSIONS I have these lines:

include $(TOP)/configure/RELEASE
-include $(TOP)/configure/RELEASE.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH)

This allows me to put X11_LIB=/usr/lib into RELEASE but X11_LIB=/usr/lib64 into RELEASE.linux-x86_64

Regards,
Dirk

  Hi,
I'm using 3.14.12 on a 64-bit Scientific Linux machine. I'm attempting to build extensions such as edm, but always fail when the linker asks for libraries such as libXm, etc. The message states that it is searching for the libraries in /usr/lib, but as a 64-bit machine, these libraries are in /usr/lib64. I've searched tech-talk archives, but have been unsuccessful in finding what switch (flag) I need to set to force it to link to the correct libraries. Would
someone kindly point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Pierrick
