In digging in the .configure file I see that the variable "libdir" is
set to /lib if "exec_prefix" is sent in empty. Being completely new to
Linux .configure files (I hope this assumption is on the right track),
but shouldn't there be a check here if we're on an x86_64 system to make
sure the .so is put into the right search directory? Or is there
somewhere that ldconfig should be called to setup the cache? This is
actually pretty interesting and I would love to find out how to diagnose
this if someone is willing to explain it to me :)
