Old bug never fixed, breaks compilation on RPM based distros

[triplesqaurednine]

I'm going to just cut and paste the original bug report (from opencompositing.org). The original report was made by the maintainer of compiz on Fedora. Because this bug was never addressed, the package maintainer dropped compiz from fedora.

Please remove the /lib prefix from both lines as it breaks builds on the x86_64
platform.
All x86_64 rpm based distro use the /usr/lib64 directory

it would probably be good to fix this, being as the patch is already available, and it would benefit RPM distros.

Just bumping / doing follow up. I've seen no notification (in email) from this bug report.

And last i looked, compiz' code hasn't been changed to NOT link statically to /lib

I know you guys are busy, but this is a long outstanding bug that (as i said above) was THE REASON Compiz was dropped from fedora...

While this bug doesn't affect me personally, it really needs to be fixed, and probably should have been fixed a long long time ago.

Evidently this was fixed in r3653 on 2013-04-13 for bug #1163611 released with Compiz 0.9.10.0 and not tagged as closed.
