No.

It's not.

My RH maintains 64-bit libs in /usr/lib64 and 32-bit libs in /usr/lib,
so you have the option to compile code as 64-bit or 32-bit (maybe this
is a Xeon thing). Most configure scripts seem to identify the
architecture as x86_64 and resolve the correct library path
accordingly... not sure why geany's didn't (maybe I should have enabled
the-force :)

I have occasionally had similar issues with other tarballs but am an
autoconf/automake know-nothing so have no idea why.
