Re: general problem with pkgsrc on 64bit linux

[Greg Troxel <gdt%ir.bbn.com@localhost>]

  Well, I think the problem comes from the fact that the guy's Linux system has 
  3rd party software installed under system directories, like /usr/lib64. So 
  for example, GTK2 libraries are dumped under /usr/lib64, when pkgsrc tries to 
  build and link to its own GTK2 libraries, the linker first searches system 
  directories and tries to link to the wrong libraries.

This should be ok.  The question IMHO is why is pkgsrc using /usr/lib64
before /usr/pkg/lib.  If that's fixed, this should work.
