[alsa-devel] Maybe the build script for Alsa Libs does not properly install for 64-bit systems? (alsa-lib-1.0.20.tar.bz2)

Maybe the build script for Alsa Libs does not properly install for
64-bit systems? (alsa-lib-1.0.20.tar.bz2)

Built alsa-lib and did make install;
built alsa-driver and did make install;
tried to build alsa-utils and found
Compile errors when building on a 64-bit platform in Fedora Core 9.
Notice the old date on /lib64/libasound.so.2.0.0:
[root at localhost alsa]# ls -l /lib64/libasound*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     18 2009-06-12 14:29 /lib64/libasound.so.2 ->
libasound.so.2.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 920640 2008-04-04 01:26 /lib64/libasound.so.2.0.0
[root at localhost alsa]# ls -l /usr/lib/libasound*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root     813 2009-06-12 17:02 /usr/lib/libasound.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      18 2009-06-12 17:02 /usr/lib/libasound.so ->
libasound.so.2.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      18 2009-06-12 17:02 /usr/lib/libasound.so.2
-> libasound.so.2.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3544926 2009-06-12 17:02
/usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0

Here is the system this is built on:
[root at localhost alsa-utils-1.0.20]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu May 1
06:06:21 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Here is the error when compiling utils:
---------------------------------------
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/Desktop/alsa/alsa-utils-1.0.20/aplay'
if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../include -I../include    -g -O2 -MT

        then mv -f ".deps/aplay.Tpo" ".deps/aplay.Po"; else rm -f
".deps/aplay.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

[root at localhost alsa-utils-1.0.20]#

So then link the /lib64 libraries to the /usr/lib equivalents and cross
fingers:
[root at localhost lib64]# ls -l libasound*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     27 2009-06-13 01:25 libasound.2.0.0 ->
/usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     27 2009-06-13 01:26 libasound.so.2 ->
/usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 923208 2008-04-04 01:26
libasound.so.2.0.0-original

Then compile utils again. No compile errors.
So the compile gave no errors when the "old" /lib64/libasound.so.2 was
not used, and the /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 was used instead.

Does this mean that the build script for alsa-lib-1.0.20 did not put in
the correct library? Or what?

Thanks for thoughtful responses.
