How does one properly make a build system install to the system-preferred locations for 64-bit binaries? I'm wondering how to properly make my build system choose "/usr/lib64" over simply "/usr/lib" when configure is run. I know this can be done simply via "--prefix=/usr --libdir=lib64", and maybe this is what it should be (along with some type of bootstrap script). I was just wondering if there are already elegant/"smiled upon" methods for doing this in configure (i.e. configure.ac).
Thanks, Andy
