[Adonthell-general] Building adonthell on 64 bits Fedora

[Mathieu Bridon]

Hi!

I'm having troubles with the RPMs I'm creating for inclusion in Fedora.

The package for adonthell is being refused as it doesn't build on 64
bits (I couldn't try it myself as I do not have a 64 bits machine).

The reason is that the configure script can't find python. In fact, it
is searching for it in /usr/lib.

I don't know how it is in other distributions, but in Fedora, 64bits
libraries are stored in /usr/lib64 (as a way to install both 64 and 32
bits libraries).

So adonthell can't be built on a 64 bits Fedora :S

It seems like the path is hardcoded in the configure.in script.

I currently had to run the following command to make it build:
sed -i 's|/lib\([ /"]\)|/%{_lib}\1|g' configure
(%{_lib} is a rpm macro replaced by /lib or /lib64 depending on the
arch)

Is there a reason why it is hardcoded? Or could you fix it for next
release?
