I was doing a test run of catalyst today and zlib got merged before baselayout, as such, it threw it's .so into the proper /lib64, but the .a was put in /lib.

Thanks

Ugh... OK.  This is definitely a problem elsewhere.  It seems to be something with calling get_libdir.  I've checked the profile and even switched to another profile and it is still doing the same thing.  It's either something with econf or something else that I haven't discovered yet.

Sorry for all the confusion and trouble.
