Hmm.

# more /etc/rpm/platform
ia32e-redhat-linux

# echo x86_64-redhat-linux > /etc/rpm/platform

# rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/mod_auth_radius.spec

[...]

+ install -p .libs/mod_auth_radius-2.0.so /var/tmp/mod_auth_radius-1.5.7-1-root-root//usr/lib64/httpd/modules/

It did! Thank you!

I do notice that the xen0 has ia32e-redhat-linux as well, though it did not
seem to suffer from this problem when building rpms - it used /usr/lib64 fine.

Can you tell me more about this?
