Compiling ncmpcpp with multilib Slackware 13.1

I'm running into trouble compiling ncmpcppp with a SlackBuild under a multilib Slackware 13.1. Even though my ARCH is exported correctly and it's looking in /usr/lib64 for the relevant libraries, the build fails with these errors:

Code:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make[2]: *** [ncmpcpp] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make: *** [all] Error 2

Any help would be appreciated.

I think this is caused by a bug in ncurses.

The ncmpcpp build system uses ncursesw5-config to get ncurses specific link flags.

Code:

ncursesw5-config --libs

incorrectly outputs

Code:

-L/usr/lib -lncursesw

while it should output

Code:

-L/usr/lib64 -lncursesw

Curl uses the linker flag -lcurl. Libtool combines the flags -L/usr/lib and -lcurl to an absolute path /usr/lib/libcurl.so which is the 32-bit library.

If I modify /usr/bin/ncursesw5-config to output the correct flags, ncmpcpp compiles successfully.

It seems the bug has been fixed in latest ncurses snapshots.

as a temporary solution you can add an

Code:

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64 -L/lib64" \

to the configure like this
