However, that raises another question: why does the build (either one) not know the machine architecture on which it is running and therefore detect the proper library to which to link? Or do I have to fake it by replacing the links in /usr/lib with those from /usr/lib64? IOW: how do I (or does anyone) build GNOME (or even just dbus-glib) on a 64-bit platform? > good luck. > Thanks. mhr
