Comment # 2 on bug 6294 from
The problem here is that (now old) Wireshark .spec file runs 'configure' while
setting only --prefix.  For the libraries to end up in lib64:

1) rpmbuild needs to set %_libdir to lib64 (Redhat's rpmbbuild does this)
2) (and) the .spec file needs to include --libdir=%{_libdir}

I've significantly reworked the .spec file in trunk (Wireshark 1.9); part of
those changes include using the %configure macro which does all this work for
us.  The resulting RPMs install the libraries in lib64 on Redhat-based systems
and I think they'll install in lib on systems that don't use lib64 (though I
have no way to verify that).
