Re: general problem with pkgsrc on 64bit linux

[Greg Troxel <gdt%ir.bbn.com@localhost>]

I think you've figured it out, but truly fixing this seems very hard.
The basic problem seems to be that buildlink can either -L to a native
directory, or a pkgsrc directory, and depending on PREFER_* each package
should come from the other.  So it's almost like libraries need to be
added with

  (-L /usr/foo/lib -lbar)

so the -L goes out of scope after bar.  I wonder if having both native
and pkgsrc versions of the same library is just not going to work in the
general case.

This is pretty clearly a pkgsrc issue.
