Hello,
iirc this was at some point discussed, however, I want to go through it
again.
Many x86_64 distros expect libraries to be placed under a lib64
directory. For example the RPM spec file language returns /usr/lib64 for
%{_libdir} variable.
In the master branch I committed a patch that does this detection.
As I saw some people saying that 'lib' should be the default also for
x86_64, my question is then what do you think we should use?
Using 'lib' will definitely make building rpms fail unless we do a patch
specific for these distros.
Cheers,
Daniel

If you are unsure which way is better, my recommendation would be
follow the Linux Standard Base (LSB). IIRC it recommends using lib64
in this case.

Since the libraries are actual .so files for 64bit in this case, it
would sound logical to put them into lib64. Not least so that you can
also have a 32-bit version on the side (dunno what for but one never
knows).
To make the 32/64 bit transition transparent, would it be possible to
default the loadpath to the correct directory, ie.,
"/usr/lib/kamailio/modules:/usr/lib/kamailio/modules_k" on 32 bit and
"/usr/lib64/kamailio/modules:/usr/lib64/kamailio/modules_k" on 64 bit?
This is assuming the colon semantics actually works which it didn't in
my experiments.

Martin
