Patch fixing slashlibdir variable in configure.ac

Hello,
There is a problem in configure.ac with the slashlibdir variable used for installing udev rules. When set, it contains either /lib or $(prefix)/lib.

As I'm running a 64bit system, those paths are symlinks, and my package mangler (Paludis on Exherbo) now forbids installation to them directly. It should contain either /lib64 or $(prefix)/lib64 in order to install correctly, at least on a 64bit system.

In attachment, you'll find a patch fixing that problem.

Thanks for reading,

SuperHeron

-  slashlibdir=/lib
+  slashlibdir=${libdir#${prefix}}

From Kay, the udev maintainer: "This just isn't right -- lib/ is not $libdir. udev rules never go into lib64 and on non-legacy filesystem layouts, udev rules go into /usr/lib/udev/"
