[Aspell-user] Installing aspell on 64-bit Fedora

[John P. Hartmann]

I'm afraid this varies from distribution to distribution.

The issue is to support 32-bit and 64-bit coresidence, which may mean
both a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of the same library.

Fedora's solution is to keep its 64-bit libraries in /usr/lib64 and
/usr/local/lib64.

So if you compile and install aspell on a 64-bit system that follows
this convention (ubuntu, centos?), be sure to move the libraries from
/usr/local/lib to /usr/local/lib64.  If you're sure you'll have only
64-bit libraries, you could set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include
/usr/local/lib, but I'd not recommend it.
