Hello, Continuing with my attempt to compile Perl on a "biarch" system (PPC64 with a 32-bit userland), I'm having some trouble when I try to change the place where "make install" will put the compiled libraries. As you may guess, my system have only one "/lib" (or "/usr/lib", or "/usr/local/lib") which contains only 32-bit binaries. What I would like to do is to create a "/lib64" (or "/usr/lib64", or "/usr/local/lib64") and install every 64-bit binary there. After a few questions in #perl channel (on Freenode) I tried to modify the value of $sitelib, which in fact changes the lib's path. But, as you can see below (from the generated config.sh): installarchlib='/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.0/ppc64-linux' installbin='/usr/local/bin' installhtml1dir='' installhtml3dir='' installman1dir='/usr/local/share/man/man1' installman3dir='/usr/local/share/man/man3' installprefix='/usr/local' installprefixexp='/usr/local' installprivlib='/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.0' installscript='/usr/local/bin' installsitearch='/usr/local/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/ppc64-linux' installsitebin='/usr/local/bin' installsitehtml1dir='' installsitehtml3dir='' installsitelib='/usr/local/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0' installsiteman1dir='/usr/local/share/man/man1' installsiteman3dir='/usr/local/share/man/man3' installsitescript='/usr/local/bin' installstyle='lib/perl5' installusrbinperl='undef' installvendorarch='' installvendorbin='' installvendorhtml1dir='' installvendorhtml3dir='' installvendorlib='' installvendorman1dir='' installvendorman3dir='' installvendorscript='' Some variables still hold the old "/usr/local/lib/" value (specifically 'installarchlib' and 'installprivlib'). The question is: how do I change this value in a "global" way, so every variable will be updated to use "/usr/local/lib64"? By the way, I'm modifying the behaviour of the Configure script to do that "path modification" when the "use64bitall" option is provided by the user. So, the line that I have used to generate the piece of code above is: ./Configure -de -Duse64bitall I'd like an opinion about it, too :-). Am I confusing things? Should it be done in another file instead of Configure? If these modifications are welcome, then I'll send the patch.
