Here is the patch I put in RHEL5 to fix the gdk-pixbuf-config multilib conflict. It is a little more invasive than the previous two, since gdk-pixbuf did not ship a pc file yet.
Created attachment 145371 [details] patch
Forgot to mention that this adds a .pc file, so you'll have to amend the file list.
Cool. Thanks very much for the patch. I will do some test building here and push this out probibly sometime this weekend.
Sorry about the delay here. I finally got around to looking at this. This patch attached is the one that provides the pc file... It doesn't look to me like there is any multilib conflict right now, at least I can install the current i386 and x86_64 versions on the same machine ok. Were you seeing something else in RHEL5? Or am I misunderstanding the problem?
The multilib conflict that was reported on RHEL5 occurs because gdk-pixbuf-config contains the libdir and other arch-dependent paths.
Ah ha. Ok, that makes sense then... Will do some testing on this and hopefully push it out soon. Thanks again for the patch and assistance!
ok, pushed out an update with this patch. If you spot any problems with it, let me know... I am going to close this bug now. Feel free to re-open or file a new one if you spot anything else with this package.
