We've modified the Runtime loader to only get libraries of the appropriate architecture out of the `/etc/ld.so.cache'. All you need to do is put your IA64 and IA32 libraries in different directories, put those directory names in `/etc/ld.so.conf' and then run `ldconfig' to create the cache. From then on your IA64 and IA32 programs can refer to libraries of the same name and get the right one. As an example, my `/etc/ld.so.conf' contains: /usr/lib /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/ia32/lib /usr/ia32/urs/lib /usr/ia32/usr/X11R6/lib Just make sure you re-run `ldconfig' after you put a new library in one of these directories.
