Re: How does one specify linking to 64 bit libraries when there is a choice?

Hello,

When a work subscription to libtool and a home subscription to
guile-devel collide...

I think with 1.8, which is what Nelson is trying to build, it's still a
fairly thick thing.

Usually if you have 64-bit libs in lib64, you have to pass --libdir
explicitly.

So you would configure guile using:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --libdir=/usr/local/lib64

If you still get /usr/local/lib coming out in guile's configure, you may
have a libtool-related issue, but I doubt it.
