Description

log4cxx fails to link with libexpat.so on Centos 5 x64 with following error message:

"/usr/lib/libexpat.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format"

(It's looking in the wrong dir, it should be searching /usr/lib64.)

Had to use the following workaround:

./configure --with-expat=builtin

SideNote:

This sounds a lot like the problem that apr-util had with the same error message.
