./configure --prefix=/usr/ sets installation dir to /usr/lib on 64bit platform. #72

Hi, This seems to be super small issue whenever one run ./configure --prefix=/usr/ the modules will be installed to /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64. I'm not familiar with autotools so I'm not sure how to fix it, or even if it is not an expected behaviour. Although the issue does not appear on any varnish library, so I've though you might be interested.

In the meantime I will just skip the --prefix.

Try rpm --eval %configure to see how to correctly configure an autotools project for your system. I'm assuming you are running RHEL or CentOS by the look of your libdir.

This should be enough:

./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64

On Fedora 25 I can confirm that the libdir is correctly set if the prefix is /usr. Not sure about RHEL, and last time I checked on Ubuntu/Debian it was not the case.

Since Varnish 4.1.4-beta1 you should be able to inherit everything from Varnish's pkgconfig. However in an RPM spec you should use %configure instead of ./configure and you shouldn't need to run the bootstrap script if you cared to pick the latest release archive from here:
