libexpat.so

[Pervez, Salman]

Hi everyone, I am trying to do a source build of dbus-0.31 and getting the following error.

then mv -f ".deps/main.Tpo" ".deps/main.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/main.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

I've read elsewhere that this could be due to /usr/lib/libexpat.so being 32-bit. There is a corresponding file in /usr/lib64 but I'm not sure how to tell configure to look for it. I've tried -with-expat=builtin, --with-expat=/usr/lib64 -with-expat-lib=/usr/lib64 but none of them seems to do the trick. Has anyone encountered a similar error? I'd appreciate any pointers. Thanks!

Salman
