FWIW, the udev *libraries* (libudev, libgudev, etc) go in $prefix/lib64 on 64 bit machines, the udev *binaries* into /lib. So multi*lib* should work. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
