--- Comment #2 from winehq@fullware.net 2010-11-06 19:44:25 CDT --- It is *prepending* /usr/local/lib to the library path, which is the problem. It override my environment settings which are required to compile. As a result, my 64-bit version of libxml2 from /usr/local is getting linked in, and not the alternate 32-bit version I am trying to link in. As such I'm getting incompatible architecture compile errors.
It doesn't seem benign to me, to be adding /usr/local or any other library to a path that is not specified in the top-level configuration.
