By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Darrell 2012-06-02 17:13:17 CDT

The problem is the build process can't find $PREFIX/lib64. The build process
only looks for $PREFIX/lib.

Comment 1 Timothy Pearson 2012-06-12 18:21:04 CDT

Can you be more specific?  I see no hardcoded lib search paths in these two modules.

Perhaps you are not aware of the fact that building TDE python modules usually requires passing build options with directories to the build process?

Comment 2 Darrell 2012-06-13 19:15:19 CDT

I'm unsure of the exact magic, but I suspect building TQt3 with the correct "-platform" option might have been the key. Both python-tqt and python-trinity now build for me on 64-bit. Hopefully this was not a one-time fluke! :-)

Resolved.

Thank you!

Note for future readers who run across the same build failure:

In the (T)Qt3 build options, explicitly set the following build option:

-platform ${PLATFORM}

where ${PLATFORM} == linux=g++-64 rather than linux-g++ (notice the dash!)
